Celebrating Thanksgiving with Dialogue Institute
Pumpkins on doorsteps and cool nights remind us that we will soon be making plans to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. The status of COVID seems to point us to virtual visits with friends and family for holiday feasts, including Colonial’s dinner on the Sunday before Thursday.
In past few years we have been able to share that meal with families from the Dialogue Institute of Kansas City who are refugees from Turkey. We have reunited with friends and made new ones as we shared time together. This year we can turn to technology to help us celebrate with some who are new to this special western world holiday. Simply let us know that you would like to participate and we will connect you with a family via Zoom to be a part of your Thanksgiving Day. You can share greetings, special prayers and/or activities of your family celebration. Are there special dishes, a way to share thanks or family jokes and games that brings you together? You may want to learn more of the changes that the refugee family has made during their journey to the Midwest.

Rummage Collection Instead of Sale
April 11, 2021
Because of concerns about COVID-19, Colonial Women is hosting a rummage collection rather than the usual sale. The goal is to raise $1,000, which means about 5,000 pounds of items! Savers will pay us by the pound for good quality items. Bring your items on Sunday, April 11 beginning at 9:30 a.m. Everything will be loaded directly into a truck and taken to Savers the following day. Start collecting your items now so we have plenty of pounds to deliver to Savers in April. Nothing will be stored at the church. Click here for guidelines of what to collect and how to bag or box.
