Midweek dinner and worship keeps us connected

Wednesdays, June 30, July 21, August 25
Dinner at 5:45 pm; worship at 6:30 pm

On Wednesday, June 30, Wednesday Night Live! Chef Extraordinaire Brad Webster cooks for us. Following dinner, Jeff Flynn and Ross Williamson will share their stories of life and faith during this first of our summer Praise and Prayer services.

Come as you are to share a meal and to worship together. Invite your neighbors, friends, family members and even casual acquaintances. Childcare for infants to 4-year-olds is provided.

Plan also for two more summer Wednesday dinners and Praise and Prayer services on July 21 and August 25. Encourage others to come along and experience these refreshing times of worship and conversation.

 


Sanctuary flowers can honor loved ones

Sign up in the entry to the fellowship hall (next to the elevator) to provide flowers on a Sunday in 2010. Consider giving flowers in honor or in memory of a loved one or to commemorate a special event.

Help build bridges of understanding

Invite two or three international students from the University of Michigan to dinner in your home this fall, for a holiday meal or for a simple weeknight dinner. The students speak some English and come from a variety of religious traditions. All are eager to experience life in an American home.

Please contact Chrisita Ackermann for more information and to volunteer. The program is sponsored by the Ecumenical Center and International Residence in cooperation with the University of Michigan International Center.

 

Small electronics collection continues

The Children’s Committe continues to collect and recycle electronics items as a means of raising funds for our playground equipment and to assist in the support of our foster children. Please help us and recycle the following items:

  • cell phones (no chargers or accessories)
  • laptop computers (no desktop computers, monitors, printers, scanners, faxes, modems, keyboards, mouses or TVs)
  • inkjet cartridges (no toner cartridges)
  • MP3 players (only Apple iPods, Microsoft Zune, Sandisk or Creative products)

Save your stamps!

Please cut cancelled stamps from letters you receive, leaving a quarter-inch inch border, and place them in the “Third World Country” box on the table in the entry to the fellowship hall. We send them to a German community of people with intellectual handicaps who sort them and sell them and send the profits to missions around the world. Thanks!
