Classes will take place in the Mayflower Room. The cost is $5 per session with all proceeds going to the church. If you're interested, please let Karen know in person or by email at karenka347@yahoo.com

Strengthen the Church Offering: Our Strengthen the Church Special Offering begins today.

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!
