OGDEN — One church that continues to make an impact on this city is the Genesis Project through its ACTS “Reaching Across The Street As the Hands of Christ” Project.

ACTS is the service and outreach arm of the church.

“We take the job to serve and love our city very seriously, and we have fun doing it,” states the church website on the ministry.

SOUTH OGDEN — The so-called Mayan apocalypse didn’t happen Dec. 21, but Ryan Adams’ world came crashing down anyway when his pickup truck was stolen and wrecked, possibly dooming his small construction company.

“It’s just unbelievable,” Adams said. “It’s unreal that it would happen in South Ogden.”

Adams, 38, owner and sole employee of Adams Quality Construction, bought the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado about six months ago for $9,000 to haul his equipment trailer.

However, Adams only had liability insurance on the truck, which means he can’t receive a settlement to replace the vehicle because it was demolished after it was stolen.

OGDEN — Elizabeth, from Somerville, Mass., sent a check for $15 and thanked Ogden resident Marc Payet for being “an inspiring animal advocate.”

OGDEN — The family of Connecticut elementary school shooting victim Emilie Parker will hold a public memorial service Thursday at Ben Lomond High School.

The event will be at 7 p.m. in the atrium of the school, at 800 Jackson Ave., said Brad Schultz, a friend of the Parkers who is helping to organize the event.

“The point is for the community to get together to honor Emilie,” he said.

Emilie is among the 20 children who died Friday in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The incident is one of the worst attacks on schoolchildren in U.S. history.

OGDEN — Area church groups and individuals are invited to assist in an upcoming effort to bring some Christmas joy to those who are less fortunate.

The event is the annual Christmas dinner at the Marshall White Community and Recreation Center, 222 28th St., planned for 11 a.m. Dec. 22. Organizers say for two decades the center has served Christmas dinner, but now they want to offer something more.
