Each month, we gather a small group to support a local community service through practical service. Second Saturday projects include landscaping, donation sorting, cleaning, food preparation, and simple construction.

Did you know that most hospitals will not provide chemotherapy to cancer patients if they are unhoused? That is why the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County provides medical recuperation housing. Our team of dedicated volunteers prepare and serve a healthy lunch once per month for recuperating clients.

Many parents lack extended friendship or family support. Our church steps up to fill those gaps with Safe Families for Children. Sometimes this looks like providing childcare for a single mother, other times it’s meeting one-on-one with an overwhelmed dad. We also host winter gear drives and other one-time projects for Safe Families.

Throughout the Bible, widows and orphans, sojourners, and neighbors represent opportunities for justice and mercy. Widows and orphans are those without provision and protection. Sojourners are those living in unfamiliar places. A neighbor is someone in our community with need. Each month we pray for one of these groups as a congregation and as individuals.
