Ryder News for April 23, 2020
Since
everyone has been staying home due to Social Distancing and Shelter in
Place, there is very little news. Why don’t you let me know what you
have been doing to keep from going crazy. I’m sure my readers would like
ideas to keep them from going insane!
By
the way the wood ticks are out. I found one on me last night after
holding my cat on my lap for a few minutes. He jumped down and then I
found one crawling on my arm. Yuck. Needless to say, I put tick medicine
on him immediately.
We’ve
been having hurricane force winds in Ryder and around the area. I guess
these windy days have been setting us up for some 70 degree weather
this week. Yay, it will finally feel like summer, at least until the
next cold front comes through!
Daniel
Starks of Ryder has been streaming music concerts on Facebook Live from
his home. He and his dad, Jonathan, sing a lot of popular tunes,
country, as well as gospel and rock and roll. I never know when he is
going to put on one of these performances but someone usually lets me
know and then I go to Daniel Starks Music on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/danielstarksmusic) and that’s where I
find it!
Ryder’s Calvary church will continue to hold Parking Lot Drive-In Church services at
10:30 every Sunday morning until further notice. Tune to 107.5 on your
FM radio station to listen to the service. Pastor Starks said, “It's sure been neat to see people coming out for this unique way of worship. Maybe it's the ‘come as you are’ ease that helps.”
The
Community Food Pantry will be open by appointment only. It will be
picked, packed and picked up outside the gym by the client. Contact
Kathy for information at 701-578-5876.
If
errands need to be done, or you need something from Minot or Garrison,
The Community Food Pantry will help with that, to keep you safe. Contact
Kathy at 701-578-5876
The walking gym is closed until this pandemic is passed.
All
Prairie Rose Lutheran Church building gatherings are canceled until
further notice due to Covid-19 Social Distancing. Please stay in contact
with your church family via phone, video chat, facebook, etc.
