TUESDAYS AT TEN SHOP WITH A COP PULLED-PORK BENEFIT
On November 4th, Tuesdays at Ten Bible Study had an Election Day Pulled Pork Dinner. We served 275 adult meals and 25 children’s meals. Through the profits of the dinner, donations and Thrivent grants, we raised $4,124.64 for Shop with a Cop. This means we supported 41 children to go shopping with a cop. Each child and their siblings (up to grade 8) received $100 to purchase clothing, gloves, shoes or boots. No toys. Rita Bergman (below) presented the check to Det. Sgt. Dave Richard (left) and Patrolman Garrett Roth. The shopping was held at Walmart and served 270 children. What a joy for the children! Thank you for your support by purchasing a ticket(s) or making a donation. YOU made the children and their siblings very happy! God loves a cheerful giver.
CLOTHES CLOSET NEEDS
The Clothes Closet is in need of all winter clothing and coats for men, women, and kids sizes 5 and up. Thank you for your continued support of this ministry. The Clothes Closet is also in need of volunteers to cover shifts on Thursday and

As we are preparing the 2026 calendar, and with the Epistles getting printed bi-monthly, we would like to get your group scheduled for the Lenten meals. The March 25th date is still open. Please contact the church office at your earliest convenience. If no group signs up for March 25th, there will be no meal on that evening. Thank you.
