Jamestown First Assembly to Serve Pie After Sunday Worship Jan. 25

Jamestown First Assembly will mark National Pie Day by serving pie in the church lobby after its 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday, Jan. 25. The congregation is inviting the wider Stutsman County community to join for fellowship and light refreshments; everyone is welcome.

Jamestown First Assembly is located at 1720 8th Ave. SW, across from Arby’s. Those seeking more information can call the church office at 252-4092. The post-service offering of pie continues a long-standing local tradition of using church hospitality to bring neighbors together after worship.

For Jamestown and surrounding rural areas, small gatherings like this provide more than dessert. They create informal support networks for older adults, families and neighbors who may feel isolated, and they reinforce social ties that help residents share resources and information. In a county where community institutions often serve multiple roles - spiritual, social and practical - a simple shared slice can translate into mental health benefits and strengthened civic connection.

Public health context is relevant as well. January remains a period when respiratory illnesses circulate in the region, so attendees should consider basic precautions. Health guidance encourages people to stay home if they are feeling unwell and to practice hand hygiene before handling shared food. Residents with food allergies or dietary restrictions can call Jamestown First Assembly at 252-4092 to ask about offerings or accommodations.

The event also offers an opportunity for local volunteers and small congregations to demonstrate community care without large logistical burdens. Hosting pie after a service requires modest staffing and fresh-baked contributions, but it can open doors for newcomers to meet long-time members, ask about local social services and learn about ongoing church programs.

Jamestown First Assembly’s invitation underscores how familiar places in town - on a block across from a well-known fast-food landmark - continue to function as meeting points for connection. For readers, the gathering on Jan. 25 is an easy chance to check in on neighbors, meet someone new and support a local faith community’s outreach.

Those planning to attend can arrive after the 10:30 a.m. service at Jamestown First Assembly, 1720 8th Ave. SW, or call 252-4092 for more information. The pie event highlights small-scale community resilience and offers a warm, local way to beat the January blues while staying connected.
