Gather 'Round Year End Potluck and Graduation Recognition!
Plan on staying after church on June 3rd to share in an exciting potluck celebrating all the wonderful faith growth of our church family! The Gathering Place Kids will be performing. Our 2012 graduates will be recognized for their big accomplishment! Graduation Cake will be served and the Christian Ed. Team will provide hot dogs.
 Great Lakes Scrip Fund Raising Program
This program allows our congregation to purchase gift certificates and gift cards at face value. The church is charged, on average, 4-6% less than the face value. This discounted selling price becomes income for the church. The Stewardship Committee, at the end of the "Minute for Stewardship," challenged everyone to purchase one restaurant gift card and give it a try. Orders are taken the first Sunday of each month immediately after worship. Please look for the table in the fellowship hall. The ordered cards will be delivered on the following Sunday.
Here's how it works:
- Determine what gift card you want to order. You can click here for a list of participating retailers and their discount rates.
- All orders for Great Lakes Scrip cards will be placed on the first Sunday of each month, so your will need to get your order to Christine Cook, Vicki Lyles, or Kay Vander Kuy before that date.
- On the second Sunday of each month, your order will be available at the church.
 Recycling Initiative
Are you interested in recycling? Anyone who is committed to recycling and would like to help the church expand its recycling efforts is encouraged to see Mandie Banks for more information on creating a program for the church.
 Food Pantry
The food need for people in our community continues to grow. We are continuing to help the "Forgotten Harvest" food pantry at Holly First Baptist Church. Please bring canned and boxed goods to the Narthex each week. If you are seeking a volunteer opportunity - they are looking for helpers on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. 248-634-8772.
 "In The Beginning" Baby Pantry
It's official we have moved the baby pantry to the lower level of the church. It is now located in the same room as the nursery. Thanks to everyone who helped with the move!
The "In The Beginning" baby pantry is a free resource for parents of infants, providing new and gently used clothing, linens, incidentals, diapers, formula, and emotional support for families experiences tough times. "In the Beginning" will now be open on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, in addition to the third Saturday. The upcoming dates are:
