Ivanhoe Presbyterian Church

Current Activities

Ivanhoe's Presbyterian Church Outreach Programs all started with God’s Plan for us, you and me, to continue the work of Jesus Christ throughout the world. God has promised that our needs will be supported as we respond to the needs of his work throughout the world. In this time of so many worldly needs, our local community people are sometimes forgotten. One way we can strengthen God’s Plan is to provide assistance to the needy people in the local community, as well as the world.

Community Outreach

• Food Baskets - Ivanhoe Church will start it's annual food basket drive on November 14th at the annual Thanksgiving Dinner. Non- perishable food is collected to help needy families in our community and brighten up their holidays. You can help by donating non-perishable food items, which will be collected at the church every Sunday!

• Four-Cents-A-Meal-Program - Ivanhoe's Four Cent A Meal Offering will be collected to share God’s love with people experiencing need. More than 800 million people in the world go hungry. In developing countries, 6 million children die each year, mostly from hunger-related causes. In the United States, 12 million children live in households where people have to skip meals or eat less to make ends meet. That means one in ten households in the U.S. are living with hunger or are at risk of hunger. Ivanhoe supports the world program, administered by the Shenandoah Presbytery, and our local programs, such as the Mathias Food Bank.

• Heifer - Ivanhoe Presbyterian Women hopes to enable other women world wide to help their families by providing them with the animals or poultry and the skills to care for these animals. By providing protein for their diets, the overall health of the entire family is improved. We collect money on the third Sunday of each month and in January of the following year we decide which animals that we will provide and send our requests and money to Heifer International. Ivanhoe PW has collected over twelve hundred dollars so far this year.  More information...  

Community Together

Ivanhoe Church initiated the "Community Together" program on September 8, 2005 at Ivanhoe Church, with 28 Christians in attendance. This program invites all community churches to participate in Bible Study, Hymn Sing, Fellowship and enjoy a great meal too. Our program has continued ever since, with many local churches hosting the Community Together activities. This is a good program with many guest speakers and talented performers! If you are interested in attending, participating or have questions, Go to Contact Us page. Don’t miss it!

Ivanhoe Bereavement Support Group
The Presbyterian Women of Ivanhoe recently broadened their community outreach when they formed a Grief Support Group for those who have suffered recent loss. The group, which meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month, is the result of training in volunteer service from the Grant Memorial Hospice Program, Petersburg, West Virginia. It was organized and led by Mrs. Joyce McNeil, BSW, who is the Volunteer and Bereavement Coordinator in Hardy and surrounding counties. The sessions have been well attended thus far. It is hoped that the endeavors of this group will offer not only comfort and encouragement for those who are hurting, but will add to the spiritual growth of the church and community. See our calendar for meeting dates.
