Splitting Wood for Corn Creek 2026

Splitting Wood for Corn Creek   

For many years, First Reformed Church has partnered with Corn Creek, a Native American reservation near Parmelee, South Dakota. One meaningful way we serve is by preparing firewood to help heat homes during the winter. Just a few hours of wood splitting can provide warmth for days.  

This is a tangible expression of agape love, love that serves, gives, and meets real needs.
Wood splitting will take place at Ron De Jong’s farm (3536 480th Street, Orange City) on the following Wednesday evenings: June 3, June 17, July 8, July 22  

We’ll work from 5:00 to 8:00 PM each evening, and hot dogs will be served at 6:30 PM for everyone who comes and helps.  

We’re also looking for people willing to provide goodies or treats to share with workers each night. If you’d be willing to help in that way, it would be greatly appreciated.
All willing hands are welcome. Whether you can help run wood, stack, split, or simply serve alongside others, we’d love to have you join us.
