An appreciation dinner honoring the men of the Collierstown and Mt. Horeb United Methodist Churches was held on Saturday evening, Feb. 11, at the Collierstown church. The women of the two congregations prepared and served a delicious meal. The evening’s entertainment featured a skit entitled the “Match Game.” Special thanks to George, Marilyn, and Greg Dudley who presented the skit.

The Collierstown Presbyterian Church would like to thank all those who participated in its “Pack the Porch” food drive as part of the Souper Bowl of Caring program. This year’s event was held on Saturday, Feb. 11, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Twenty volunteers manned the porch receiving canned food, paper products, and monetary gifts. The donations received will be divided and donated to two local food banks, Rockbridge Area Relief Association (RARA) and Helping Hands of Fairfield Presbyterian Church.

Donations are still being received this week. Monetary gifts can be mailed to Collierstown Presbyterian Church, 31 Church Drive, Lexington, VA 24450, and food items and household paper products may be left at Cattlemen’s Market or Goad’s Body Shop.
