 RINGLE TORNADO VICTIM RELIEF:

We are seeking volunteers to help with our next outreach event in the Ringle community, as we take this opportunity to share Christ's love through service.  This outreach is a simple but meaningful way to provide encouragement, nourishment, and a caring presence during a difficult time.   On Sunday, August 9, from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. we will be providing a Taco Truck Meal at Riverside Elementary School in Ringle for the victims of the April 17 tornado. 

Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Food preparation (desserts only)
  • Setup team (prior to the event)
  • Greeting/Assisting team (during the event)
  • Face Painters for the children
  • Cleanup and teardown team (following the event)
  • Prayer and encouragement team (walking in the neighborhood during the event)

If you are willing to help, please email Janna Janke @ .

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ as we serve our neighbors in their time of need. Your kindness and willingness to help can make a lasting difference.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Thank you for helping us show appreciation and support to those who cared for our community during a difficult time.
