With apologies to President Theodore Roosevelt, whose "bully good" comment concerned a U.S. Army tournament, the Waverly United Methodist Church, 103 Church St., will hold its 41st annual bull roast on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 6, from 1-5 p.m. or until they run out of bull.
Steamship rounds of beef will go on charcoal rotisserie spits on the church grounds about 6 a.m. By the time the beef is done about noon, the aroma wafting through the Waverly community is sure to fan appetites.

First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit will hold its annual jazz communion service at 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 5.
It will feature the music of some of the jazz fusion "super groups," such as Weather Report, Spyro Gyra, Chick Corea and Return to Forever, and the Pat Metheny Group.
The tradition of a jazz worship service began 19 years when the church could not find a substitute organist for Labor Day weekend. They turned to their pastor, Bill Carter, a seasoned jazz pianist. He invited other musicians to join him in leading the service. It has become a standing-room-only event, and has continued as an annual musical tradition on Labor Day weekend. The service is offered as a gift to the Clarks Summit community. All are welcome to attend.
