Villisca Interchurch Council
The Villisca Interchurch Council is the coming together of local churches for the purpose of strengthening the work of the Kingdom in Villisca.
Participating churches are the Advent Christian Church, Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, the Nodaway Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Strand Evangelical Lutheran Church and the United Methodist Church.
Over the years, the Interchurch Council has made a dramatic impact in the life of Villiscans. Although the face of the council has changed some, it still offers an opportunity to change lives for Christ.

Contributing to the food pantry can be fun and practical. Instead of just dropping off cans of assorted items, put together the items in your favorite pantry recipe; bundle them in a single bag and include the recipe. If the recipe calls for a couple perishable items, the food pantry gives a small gift certificate to purchase perishables at Villisca Foods so the family should be able to purchase the perishables.
Shown here are two Food Pantry Volunteers. Above - Paul Barker sorting through contributions to the food pantry from collected by students at Sylvia Enarson Elementary School; Below - Vince Else sorting and shelving contributions to the food pantry.
If you would like to contribute to Wee Care in preparation for the Christmas season or to the ongoing needs of the food pantry, you may send your contribution to any of the Villisca churches (with checks made out to the Villisca Interchurch Council) and they will be glad to get it into the right hands.
