Fellowship and Fun for Missions Fundraiser Dec. 8
Christian summer camps have impacted several local youths to serve on mission trips.
“Some of these students are from the Fort Scott Church of the Nazarene and some from Community Christian Church partnering together,” Tonya Cliffman, mom to one of the students, said. “The same group that traveled together for Denver Christ In Youth, last summer.”
The youth will be having a combined fundraiser for their mission trips Sunday, Dec. 8 at Community Christian Church.
The meal begins on Sunday at noon and there will be a pie auction at 12:45 p.m., followed by bingo at 1 pm.
Bingo cards can be purchased for $10 and this packet will cover all of the games played.
“This group, while hosting individual fundraisers, have teamed together for the fundraising event planned for December 8th at Community Christian Church,” Tonya Cliffman said. “The travelers are hosting ‘Missions Meal’. A meal of baked potato and soup for a free-will donation.”
” Some of these soups will be provided by the Ladle Wars competition—a competition of local people interested in entering the contest of whom has the best crock pot of soup…. the winner will receive a Golden Ladle,” Tonya Cliffman said.
“This will be a day of food, fellowship, and fun,” Tonya Cliffman said.
The students have been fundraising individually as well.
“Each student is actively fundraising for their trip in various ways, selling salsa, pies, M & M’s, blankets, dog treats and more,” Tonya Cliffman said. “Each student has an adult chaperone partnering with them for these trips.”
One of the students, Bailey Cliffman, has also started a local compassion ministry.
“This young lady that goes to my church is making backpacks for children in foster care,” Malinda Bailey said. ” I think it’s pretty amazing.”
“Last summer Bailey attended CIY in Denver, where the idea of B Bags formed (her local compassion ministry),” Tonya Cliffman said.

Trinity Lutheran Church Oktoberfest Oct. 27
With the German heritage associated with the Lutheran Church, 23 years ago, Trinity Lutheran Church decided to host an Oktoberfest as a fundraiser for the church.
In connection with Reformation Sunday, the members serve up some of their grandmother’s or great grandmother’s German dishes.
Three entrees are offered and you get all three — not a choice of one.
Bratwurst, bierocks and Reuben Casserole are the three entrees.
While the first two are traditionally German, the last one, the Reuben Casserole, is one of the most popular of the entrees.
Traditional German side dishes of sauerkraut, potato salad, and green beans accompany the entrees.
And what is a church feed without the infamous “church lady” desserts? Your choice of a piece of pie or slice of cake to end your meal.
Reformation Sunday and Oktoberfest fall on October 27, this year.
The church will serve the food from 4 to 7 p.m.
Tickets are $8.00 in advance or $10.00 at the door.
Children are $4.
For advance tickets call the church office 620-223-3596, 8 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.
In the spirit of giving, part of this year’s proceeds will go to Care to Share.
