Worship Matters

We will gather this Sunday, April 7 to worship together with Norma Bailey, who will present “Reflections on Silence,” and “Reflections on Human Rights and Civil Rights.” We hope you will join us.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
     ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


If you happen to miss being in worship on any given Sunday, the texts to previous sermon messages (and some of the readings as well) can be found in our website sermon archive.

Application for Minister

If you would like to read the application materials that your Transition Team prepared and sent to start our application process for our new minister, two copies are available for you to look at near the name tags below the memorial tree. Please do not remove them from the church.
 

Lay Pastoral Care

During our transition, we will offer Lay Pastoral Care to anyone who is going through a difficult time. Gisela Moffit heads the Arms Around team, which provides transportation to doctor appointments, cards/emails/phone calls, preparing and delivering food for those recuperating. Carolyn Hancock will provide lay pastoral care for those who are hurting and need to talk to a caring person one-on-one. Contact Carolyn at 517-881-6006 for an appointment.
Please note that these sessions are not designed to take the place of professional counseling, but to provide a listening ear, make referrals to professionals and provide support during the healing process.
 

Save for This Year’s Garage Sale

As you are doing any early spring housecleaning and come across items you could donate to our biannual garage sale to be held this spring, please hold on to them for the time being.
