It's COVID-19 and Flu Season
Dear Holly Presbyterian Family:
A gentle reminder as we enter the season of flu and colds, as well as the continuing challenge of Covid,
we wanted to reach out and urge everyone in our congregation to continue to exercise
the best care for one another by following suggested guidelines. We navigated the first two winters of
Covid with excellence. Let us continue in that spirit in our care for each other.
Click here for the most recent guidance from the CDC on Covid.
Our Worship Services are now streamed live
each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. on YouTube.
Please click here to watch.
A video of the Sunday Worship Service will also be available
following the Worship Service on our YouTube Channel.

From the Outreach Team:
The next Holly Unite Senior Soup Luncheon will be Saturday, April 1st from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. and will be at First Baptist. This is a new mission to help the community with all the churches involved. We have committed to help in the future by volunteering. Our date is April 15th. We will be having it at Holly Calvary. We need to make 3 soups and prepare for 60. Also, the desserts need to be made there. Some people have been coming in on Friday to make the desserts. Please come before we are doing the luncheon and see what it’s all about and have lunch. We’re all seniors here! See Donna DeNise for questions. (248) 634-3760. A sign-up sheet is available for you to sign up for volunteering. It does not mean every time. Future dates: April 1st and April 15th. |

Prayers During these Difficult times:
Please O Lord our God. We come to you to admit our sins which are too many to number. We have not loved you faithfully above all else. We have turned away from the overwhelming needs of many others. We have allowed chaos, corruption, and selfishness around and within us to discourage us. These challenges have weakened our faith. We turn now to seek forgiveness. Lead us back to become true servants. Help us purify our thoughts and focus on righteousness. Let us surrender to His will and know we are forgiven. We ask this in the name of our Lord, Jesus. Amen. |

Prayers For Our Missionary Families
The Holly Presbyterian Church supports two missionary families as part of our ongoing outreach to the world: the Keefer family (serving Christ through their Athletes in Action ministry at U of M in Ann Arbor, Michigan) and the Iobst family (serving Christ through the Operation Transit ministry in Paris, France). We are called to act as the hands and feet of Christ in our world, and because we cannot all serve in full time ministry, we offer our support financially, and spiritually, to those who do. Please pray for these families and consider sending them a note or e-mail of encouragement.
