M.C. Employees Serve 5th Tuesday Dinner

Midwest Central District school employees have had the privilege of serving dinner at Goofy Ridge Church for the past 3 years.  The school district serves dinner any month with a 5th Tuesday.  This meal is provided through donations and volunteers to help serve our community.  School employees are committed to serving and supporting the community in many ways.  Partnering with Goofy Ridge Church holds a very special place in many of our hearts.  These dinners give faculty and staff a chance to serve, give back, and share fellowship with our students and their families.  Goofy Ridge Church and the people who serve there are a vital part of the Community.  Midwest Central School employees are honored to have the opportunity to serve and partner with the church. 

Goofy Ridge Church is located at 23030 Co Rd 2210 E, Topeka, IL 61567 and everyone is invited to the weekly church services: Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. and Sunday Church Service is at 11:00 a.m., with a meal afterwards.
