The Church Rummage Sale dates are set for June 11th – 13th!  You may start bringing in your items in stackable sealed boxes and leave them on the right side of the storage area off the dining room. Mark your boxes with a general description of what is in them. Please leave bigger stuff until the week of the rummage sale. We will again be accepting clean used clothing and shoes for our sale. If you have any questions, please call Andrea Dutcher at 989-354-3651.
 
Stephen Ministers are specifically trained Lay Caregivers who offer confidential, one-to-one Christian support to people experiencing a difficult time. We would like to begin another training session.  Because we have no male Stephen Ministers, we are especially seeking men who feel called to provide support to other men in our congregation.  If you have a compassionate heart and a desire to make a meaningful difference, Stephen Ministry may be right place for you.  So, if you feel God nudging you toward this ministry, or if you would like more information, please reach out to either Sue Keyes, Shirley Jones, or any or our active Stephen Ministers.    
 
If you would like to make further donations to the Cancer Center, for patients undergoing treatment we are needing packaged nuts, crackers with peanut butter or cheese, rice crispy treats, candy bars, Jolly Rancher hard candies, oatmeal packets, pudding snacks. Please drop them off at Miss Linda’s office.
