The 2009 Youth Mission Trip

This year's mission trip heads to Pickford, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula on July 19 to work with the Pickford Presbyterian Church on the homes of people in need. We'll be painting houses, roofing and building decks, and we hope to paint the church as well! We've got about 30 youths and adults signed up to make the one-week trip.

The 2009 Italian Dinner Theater

Many thanks to all who supported the Italian Dinner Theater! The Preacher's Creatures (our youth group) raised over $1,800 at this event. This will support their annual mission trip July 19-25. Special thanks go out to the residents of the Village at Bay Ridge. The raffle of their quilt donations brought in over $250.

Children & Worship

We offer the Children in Worship program to younger children during our worship services. Children are excused after the opening set of praise songs, when greeters lead them to their own room in our new building. There they learn how to approach Jesus Christ in worship. The experiential, thoroughly biblical Children & Worship program has nurtured the faith of many thousands of children over the course of its decades of use across the country.

Volunteer opportunities for Children & Worship include storytelling, greeting and guiding the children into their new room, and crafting the materials used in the program. Contact the church office to offer to help.

More information about the Children & Worship program can be found here.

The 2008 building fund report and 2009 church budget are available for download and viewing in PDF format.
