WARREN It was a special Easter service as members of the Elim Christian Center gathered Sunday to remember their pastor, Apostle Loretta Pernice, and to honor her with a special memorial wall inside the church.
Following tributes from members of the congregation, a picture of Pernice, the pastor’s robe she wore when she was ordained as a minister, a nameplate and the center’s mission / vision statement were placed on a wall outside the sanctuary.

WARREN Three high school seniors two from Warren G. Harding and one from Girard each were awarded $500 scholarships Friday during a ceremony sponsored by the Trumbull County African-American Achievers Association.
The awardees are Trinity George, 18, Girard High School; Kai Neal, 17, Warren G. Harding; and Brenden Freeman, 18, Warren G. Harding. The scholarship funds were donated by Trumbull County Dress for Success, Sterling McCullough Williams Funeral Home and Grace AME Nursing Guild.
The scholarships normally are presented to students during the African-American Achievers Association dinner during February, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sponsors elected not to have the dinner this year.
