Meetings, Groups and Bible Studies --  activities and meetings are transitioning to in-person gatherings, with some continuing remotely.  Please check the church's on-line calendar for events currently scheduled.  (click on the "Dates and Events" picture at left). 

Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Collection

The Mission Committee will be collecting fresh fruits and vegetables this summer for Civic Concern, on Sundays before their distribution dates.  Most of the year, clients only receive canned goods, so fresh items are greatly appreciated, and healthier, too!  We will provide a grocery cart in the narthex for your donations—(please bring only on the dates indicated, and not before) 

Sunday Collection Dates:

July 18, August 8, August 22

All Church Picnic

Save the Date!  Our annual picnic is back -- after worship on Sunday, September 12 in Waterford Bend Park.  Join us for food, games and fun, and bring a lawn chair!  This day is also the 'kick-off" for Sunday School.  More details and information for those who can help with set-up will be posted as we get closer to the date.

5 Cents a Meal

For every meal you and your family members enjoyed in the last month, please donate 5 cents to help with food insecurity needs in our community.  The Mission Team uses these funds for various efforts throughout the year, including Gleaners, Crossroads, Northville Civic Concern, hospitality dinners for the homeless, and others!  Please fill a brown "grocery bag" envelope each month and drop it in the offering plate, or donate anytime on-line on our "Give and Serve" page.  

Little Dresses for Africa

You can help in this mission by picking up a kit in Boll Hall, completing it and returning the dress to the church.  The kit has all the supplies needed, full instructions and requires only basic sewing skills. Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit Christian organization whose mission is to provide relief by distributing dresses to little girls, primarily in African villages, but also to other countries in crisis.
