The Gerlaw Church recently held a homemade ice cream social, offering attendees a variety of pies and other desserts. Organizers expressed gratitude to those who prepared the ice cream and desserts, noting that the event was well received.

Proceeds from the event will be used to support repairs to the church's steeple, which was damaged during a storm last year.
