First Presbyterian Christmas Gathering
It all began 25 years ago, the First Presbyterian Church of Caldwell, located on the corner of North and Lewis Streets, began hosting an annual community Christmas Gathering.
Each Christmas Day after that first dinner, the community has been invited to experience a Christmas blessing while they pack and deliver meals to folks who are homebound and then share a meal with friends and neighbors in the church dining room.
Have you ever attended a Christmas Gathering? Why not come to dinner with us this year? We'd love to see you.
There is no charge for the meal. At 12:30 p.m., friends and neighbors will sit down to a home-cooked meal of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, noodles green beans, coleslaw, roll and butter, coffee or punch and a variety of salads and desserts.
If you are not able to be out and about, you can have someone pick up a meal for you (available at 11:30 a.m.); or if you are in the immediate Caldwell area, we will be delivering meals to your home (call us at 740-581-0733 if it hasn't arrived by noon -- the driver may be lost or stuck in a snowbank!)
Reservations are very much appreciated, and can be made through December 23 by calling Maureen Schultice (740-732-7235), Sarah Michel (740-581-0733) or Judy Brown (740-732-2957). When you call, let us know if you plan to eat in, pick up your meal or have it delivered.
As always, we are looking for volunteers who would like to help us in service to the community. Come work with us at 10 a.m. on Christmas Day. Share your grandma's favorite dessert or salad with us. Your help is needed and very much appreciated, call Maureen, Sarah or Judy today.
We hope you'll include the Christmas Gathering on your 2015 holiday list.
Please note: In the past our dining room has been accessible by means of a lift for those who can't manage stairs; however, the lift is currently being repaired and is not in service. WE ARE NOT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE THIS YEAR. If you have joined us in the past by using the lift, please consider having someone pick up a meal for you or ask us to deliver your meal to you. We apologize for this inconvenience.
AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
The First Presbyterian Church of Caldwell once again is sponsoring an after school program for 4th - 6th grade students every other week beginning on September 23rd. The sessions will be on Wednesdays from 3:15 - 4:30 in the church basement. There is no cost for the student to attend.
A student at Muskingum University will be directing students in an enrichment session that will include snacks (parent donations of food welcome) and a variety of activities. Special emphasis will be on navigating life in middle school, as well as focusing on positive character traits like perseverance, friendship, healthy habits, manners, respect, responsibility, confidence, and kindness.
Regular attendees will be given the opportunity to attend Camp Presmont in 2016 at no charge. This was a positive experience for last year's after-school attendees. We had 9kids take advantage of the offer and they had a great time. The camp is located on Piedmont Lake near the 4-H camp and is directed by Leah Schultice Rolling (Maureen Schultice's daughter and a former member of First Presbyterian). You can check out the camp at http://www.presmont.org/.
Students will need to get off the bus at Caldwell High School and walk about 2 blocks to the church, which is located on the corner of North and Lewis Streets. They should be picked up promptly at 4:30 at the Lewis Street door.
First Presbyterian is an active organization within the community. The church has sponsored the Christmas Gathering for more than 20 years, summer sack lunch program. Advent Journey, Noble County Ministerial event, Camp Presmont operations, and missionaries in Southeastern Asia. Now it wants to offer an opportunity for youth to have a time to socialize with each other outside the school setting.
