Riverside Community Gathering: How Can I Be Involved?

Riverside Community Gathering is a weekly meal and relationship building ministry. Every Wednesday night from 5 to 5:30 pm, approximately 30 guests eat and enjoy one another’s company at First Presbyterian Church in Ypsilanti.

You can be a part of this amazing ministry:

• Help prepare and serve the meal (arrive by 4:30)

• Join the guests at the table for food and conversation. Encourage those around you to share names, interests, family stories and prayer requests.

• Make a special dessert—cookies, brownies, baked goods—and deliver them, labeled, to the church by noon on Wednesday.

• Host a craft night. The guests love to participate in simple holiday or seasonal art projects. We’ve painted pumpkins, created leaf wreaths, formed God’s Eyes from sticks and yarn, colored murals and more. Arrive by 4:30 with supplies and invite guests as they arrive to join in the fun.

• Provide dinner music. You’re welcome to come play the piano (there is one available in the room), flute, recorder, guitar, or other instruments. It adds a touch of class.
