Welcome to East Nelson Church
Where People are Connected Together to Grow and Teach God's Love
East Nelson Church is hosting a Community Dinner on April 13, 5 - 7 pm.
Menu:
Ham, cabbage, potatoes, vegetables, relishes, rolls and desserts.
What an amazing event! The weather was the pits…but everything else was excellent. Although the seats had been filled by reservations, some people didn’t come, and we were able to let in a few others who came without reservations and didn’t know about the movie event.
The theatre lobby was filled with families and LOTS of kids! People came running in through the rain with bags of groceries for the pantry. A few didn’t know the pantry existed, so Sarah was able to give them info for donating, volunteering, or making use of the pantry.
The Cedar Springs Community Pantry took in 290 food items and $60 in donations!
One hundred and eighty-five (185) people took advantage of the “free movie.” The kids were excited, and many had their pop & popcorn at the discounted price from the theatre! When they left, we offered activity books, with bible activities, and a few kids Bibles. Seventy-eighty (78) books were given out to those who wanted one.
We received many full-hearted thanks from grownups. A few asked us about East Nelson. They never heard of us or didn’t know where we were located. Such a great opportunity to talk about our church family. We told them about the church and invited them to the Community Dinner on the 13th.
The night was a great success! With a circle of giving, we were able to give an opportunity for a free family outing, support the local food pantry; and North Star Theatre gave us the discounts and space/movie for the night.
A special thanks to the volunteers who made this event happen: Linda/George Bradley, Kathi Jo/Gord DeYoung, Sarah Zachow, Scott and Brenda Baty, and Diana Dillon.
Every Sunday at 9:30 am. Masks are not required but a choice for any individual. Respect everyone's choice! Stay home if you are sick and spread out during fellowship. Thank you!
We will be sending out a monthly mailed Connections Newsletter, as well as, a weekly E-Connections email.
