Looking for something special to give a loved one for Christmas? A gift to Second Helping in the name of your loved one will provide hot meals for members of the Manhattan community who may be experiencing hardship and hunger. Our meals cost about $2.50 per person per night; and that includes a hot meal (to go, at this time), a bottle of water, and a lunch sack that also contains breakfast items. You will receive a special card recognizing the gift that you can send to your loved one. A gift of $25 will provide meals for 10 people for one day (3 meals). Fifty dollars will feed 20 people for one day. And you can feed 40 people for a day with a $100 donation. To make your donation online, click the button below to donate via PayPal. You can also mail a check with a note that includes what it's for and your name/address to 700 Poyntz, Manhattan, KS 66502. P.S. You could also tell others this is a gift you would like, if you happen to be asked! Music always brings us a special connection to the Holy....and the month of December is a time when we particularly feel that deep connection through Christmas carols and other sacred music. Since we won't be able to gather in our sanctuary to sing together safely this year, we wanted to provide some musical resources you can use at home. We hope you'll find time each week to light a candle and make a joyful noise as we prepare to welcome the Christ child together this Christmas. Sing Christmas Carols at Home It's a lot more fun to sing Christmas carols when you've got a piano or organ leading the way! Bring your family together for an evening of singing or feel the Spirit move by singing on your own! We've collected 20 carols that are familiar to our congregation and compiled them in the document below. Once you open it, you'll see links you can click on and they will take you to a website where you can "push play" on a piano/organ accompaniment and scroll down to find the lyrics. If you have questions or run into any problems, let us know. We are grateful to smallchurchmusic.com for providing these accompaniment files for free use by churches. Music from the Wider UCC Musicians throughout the United Church of Christ have partnered to provide sacred music for the season. We'll be uploading it here and on our YouTube channel soon so you can enjoy listening or singing along at home.
