Please pray as you are led by the Holy Spirit this week for: Venita Rosenow and Johnnie & Colette Rothlisberger.
Christmas Caroling & Cookies
Please join us for a night of caroling on Saturday, December 7th at 4:00 p.m. While we carol, we deliver cookie plates, but we need your cookies. If everyone could bring 2 dozen cookies for the cookie plates to church before 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon, we will plate everything before breaking into groups to go carol in the different communities. We will meet back at the church following caroling for pizza and fellowship. Christmas Program Practice will follow the Pizza and fellowship.
Church Family Christmas Celebration: Come join us December 8th during morning worship for a church Christmas celebration. We will be featuring the children, but this will be a family gathering with something for everyone! After the service, there will be a time of food and fellowship. Soup will be provided; we would ask that you bring sides or dessert to go with it. Mark your calendar now and be a part of this special service!
The Community Food Basket is a ministry serving anyone needing food assistance in northern Riley County (everything west of Manhattan city limits). Begun over 20 years ago, it continues to be run by a coalition of 10 area churches and has a goal of providing 3 meals per day/3 days a week. Food is distributed based on family size. Holiday food baskets are provided at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter (note the food need list). It also offers the annual Adopt-A-Family program. A family can sign up to receive gifts at Christmas and is matched with an anonymous donor group who provides gifts for the children in the family.
Food Needs for the Community Food Basket: whole kernel corn, green beans, fruit cocktail, chili beans, baked beans, boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, noodles, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, macaroni-n-cheese, brownie mix, pie filling, cranberry sauce, canned yams, hamburger helper, holiday crackers, mixed nuts, and individual packets of cocoa.
Donations can be left in the green tub under the coat rack. You can also drop off donations at the Community Food Basket (located off the alley behind the Riley City Library) on Saturday mornings between 10-12, or at the Riley City Office and The Store in Leonardville during operating hours.
