Worthington Good Friday Service

Village Green sign

The quote in the shape of a cross on the sign on the Worthington Green is from George MacLeod (I had to Google him):

"I simply argue that the cross be raised again at the centre of the marketplace as well as on the steeple of the church."

The Village Green in Worthington remains a crossroad of Central Ohio with the intersection of State Route 161 (Dublin Granville Road)  and State Route 23 (High Street) dividing the Village Green. Yearly Central Ohio Christians of many faiths meet at noon on Good Friday at this crossroads.

 

 

 

Details of the 2009 Worthington Community Good Friday Service according to a brochure from the Worthington United Methodist Church:

"Good Friday, April 10:

 Community Worship Service, at 12:00 Noon - This service begins at 
Worthington Presbyterian Church, traveling to seven worship stations
around the Village Green, experiencing the seven last words of Christ.
The last station is in the cemetery at St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Worthington UMC will host one of the stations."

Old Worthington Building Gets New Options

The Worthington City Council approved new zoning for the Kilbourne Building.

the auditors site showing the Village Green in Worthington

The Kilbourne Building is the building facing the northeast quadrant of the Village Green.  The Kilbourne Building  is the building with the star.  The image is from the Franklin County Auditors site.

According to the article in the ThisWeek Community Newspapers Worthington edition the building is also known as the 752 Building.  I think of it as the old administrative office for the Worthington City Schools.  I had a client who worked there years ago pre email?  Pre everything being online anyway, so I used to drop things off there to her.

The This Week Worthington article by staff writer Candy Brooks says the building has been vacant for 7 years.  I was thinking the administrative offices had moved to E. Wilson Bridge Rd before that.  I thought they'd moved before September 11, 2001.

The City of Worthington bought the building so that it could not be used for anything other than a "public use." 

The new zoning in the news allows other uses.  

Kilbourne Building The ThisWeek Worthington article says: "Worthington City Council on Monday night approved rezoning of the vacant building on the Village Green from S-1, special uses, to C-5, the zoning category that permits a wide range of uses in downtown Worthington."

I thought the article said what the possible uses were....  there it is in the very first paragraph, if it was a dog it would have bit me.... "a shop, restaurant, office or even a house."

hmmm it does NOT have a lot of parking for a restaurant or even office use. Want to live in Old Worthington? Want to live on the Village Green?  5900 + square feet.  Three just a bit  smaller than 2,000 square foot condos? That is just me thinking out loud.  I was thinking more smaller condo's but parking....

In former lives the brick building that was built in 1927 was originally built as a library.  It's been used as a school and obviously the school administration building.

The building on the Village Green is NOT for sale yet...
