Beverages and tableware will be provided. We'll begin the "snack dinner" at 5:30, and start playing at 6:00. You don't need a partner for euchre, so you're welcome with or without buddies in tow.

1 for 1 Jar Update:The 1 for 1 Jar started the first of 2017 when John & Linda Gerber saw it at another church they attended over the holidays. They brought the idea to the TRC Mission Team who said they would try it for a year. It was decided that the money would be distributed when there was $50 in the jar, $650 was collected last year! The money was used for things like; gas cards so people could visit family members in the hospital or go out of state for a brother’s funeral, a veteran who needed work done on his trailer, a man on disability who didn’t have gas money for his car, to a single mom to use for Christmas, and to a couple who needed money to pay a medical bill. While the Gerbers’ were given charge of the project, they wanted others in the church to be able to give the money to people as needed. Thanks to Jan Hendrick, Paul Bierman Paul Miles who helped do this. Because the jar has been successful, it is on for another year. Anyone is welcome to take the money if you know someone in need, just let John or Linda know. And, the money does not need to go to someone you know. You can take it and wait for God to lead you to whoever He lays on your heart. It may be a way to tell others about this being a ministry of your church and give the glory to God!
