Please bring your own meat to grill, a dish to pass and your own beverages and place settings. If you have any questions about the event you may call Diana Dean at (989) 471-2706.

Pastoral Search Team Last Sunday the Pastoral Search Team members were introduced to the congregation. They will be assisting the elders in the search for pastoral candidates for both the Pastor Of Family Ministries and Pastor Of Connecting Ministry positions. Team members include: Kim Kanarr, Kevin Dore, Deb Minkos, Chris Olds, Amy Matuzak, and Kip Burke (Team Leader). Please encourage and pray for the elders and this team as they seek to help us as a congregation discern God’s will regarding His leading for these important additions to our WOL ministry team.

Dear Congregation,

Thank you so much for all the prayers, love and concern

shown us during this difficult time.
