SUMMARY:Ecumenical Service featuring SaltLight Christian Band
DESCRIPTION:Salt Light Christian Band\nJoin us all as we enjoy music and message by Salt Light. \n  \nWho We Are\n\nGospel-Centered \n\n\n\nWe play and create music to glorify God and point people to the truth of the Gospel message. Matthew 5:13-16 calls us\, as Christ-followers\, to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world\, which we hope to display through our music. \nOriginal Music \nMany of the songs we play are originals\, written by our lead singer\, Darla Erskine\, and arranged by the group. Her songs tell stories of common feelings and circumstances that give those listening an opportunity to relate\, reflect\, and respond in worship. \nFamily \nThough none of us are related\, our love for music and for Jesus are two things we have in common. We are more than a band; we truly are a family. It is a joy to be involved in each other’s lives\, in every season.

SUMMARY:Patchwork Warms Hearts
DESCRIPTION:The Ripley Stitchers are an amazing group. They gather most every Thursday\, listed on the Ripley Website Calendar as\n“Patchworks Warms Hearts. On the 2nd Saturday they gather to “Soul Stitch”. Both groups get their day started at 9am by\nentering through the North door to the Fellowship Hall in the Church Basement.\nSetting up sewing machines for quilt tops that need to be stitched\, cutting pieces for colorful designs\, laying out quilt tops to\nmatch to battings and backs. Sorting quilts by size to go to Cedar Valley Hospice\, Black Hawk Veterans\, AFIL\, Mercy One\, Salvation Army\, Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown\, The Stork’s Nest\, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace…..just to name a few of the\nrecipients of their work!\nNot only do they stitch fabric pieces\, but they stitch meaning through fellowship. We invite all to pop in\, and see what they\nare up to. Grab a needle\, pull a stitch and bring joy to those who are covered in the warmth of a quilt loving constructed by\nthe Ripley Stitchers.\nQuestions? Downsizing ?\nDonations are welcome!\nContact: Jane\nKnoop\n319-478-8156\njanekoop13@gmail.com \nPatchwork Warms Hearts

SUMMARY:Patchwork Warms Hearts
DESCRIPTION:Patchwork Warms Hearts\nThe Ripley Stitchers are an amazing group. They gather most every Thursday\, listed on the Ripley Website Calendar as\n“Patchworks Warms Hearts. On the 2nd Saturday they gather to “Soul Stitch”. Both groups get their day started at 9am by\nentering through the North door to the Fellowship Hall in the Church Basement.\nSetting up sewing machines for quilt tops that need to be stitched\, cutting pieces for colorful designs\, laying out quilt tops to\nmatch to battings and backs. Sorting quilts by size to go to Cedar Valley Hospice\, Black Hawk Veterans\, AFIL\, Mercy One\, Salvation Army\, Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown\, The Stork’s Nest\, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace…..just to name a few of the\nrecipients of their work!\nNot only do they stitch fabric pieces\, but they stitch meaning through fellowship. We invite all to pop in\, and see what they\nare up to. Grab a needle\, pull a stitch and bring joy to those who are covered in the warmth of a quilt loving constructed by\nthe Ripley Stitchers.\nQuestions? Downsizing ?\nDonations are welcome!\nContact: Jane\nKnoop\n319-478-8156\njanekoop13@gmail.com
