Dearborn Congregational United Church of Christ provides opportunities for worship, spiritual growth, fellowship and service in a small congregation where all are valued and supported wherever they are on their individual faith journeys.
We extend our sincere Christian sympathy to family of Jane Haling. She was a long-time, beloved member at Greenfield/Dearborn Church. She will truly be missed by her church family and friends. Jane died on Sunday, August 4, 2019..
Donating School Supplies: The new school year starts soon, so once again we're collecting school supplies for Bennett Elementary in the Mexican community of SW Detroit. Bargains can be found on supplies at retailers like Target, Meijer, and at dollar stores. Items needed include composition books, pencils, colored pencils, pens, markers, erasers, and scissors. Donations can be placed in a con-tainer in the hallway outside the church office. Delivery will occur after Labor Day. Thank you for giving!

2019 Directory Update: There is a rough draft of an updated directory in the li-brary. Please check your information and make corrections with the red pens pro-vided on the table. If you are satisfied with your entry, please initial it. Thanks. Liz
Prayer List Update We've updated the prayer requests listed in our Sunday bulletin. If someone's name has been removed and they are still in need of our prayers, please contact the church office at 313-271-8552 to have their name added back on the list. To keep our list current, we will date when the prayer request is received and after a month, unless it is renewed, it will be removed.
Strengthen the Church Offering: Our Strengthen the Church Special Offering begins today. As God calls our local congregations to be the Church in new ways, your gift will help create new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches, and develop spiritual life in youth and young adults. Special offering envelopes will be in the pews through June 9.
Downriver for Veterans: We are collecting non-perishable food items for Downriver for Veter-ans located on Fort Street in Wyandotte. Only in its second year, this organization needs on-going support to assist local resource-limited veterans with food and other needs. Some veterans are on disability income and don’t have enough to pay their bills and buy gro-ceries. You can place your donations in the Totes of Love bin in the back of the Sanctu-ary. Please check the expiration date to make sure items have not expired. Thank You!
