COVID-19 has caused a few changes. The church is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:15 am to 3:15 pm and you may come to church and take a bulb off the tree. We ask that you call Kim, our church administrator, prior to coming down to the church. Please take the red bulb and put your name and phone number on the back of green bulb and return the green bulb to the tree.

 

If you wish to provide a gift for one of the children and you can’t get to the church, call Betty Johnston at 734-485-0262. She will have the master list and will share the ages of children and their suggestions/needs.  

 

The food sign up chart is near the Caring Tree and will be at church on Tuesday and Wednesday or you can call Sue Brown at 734-368-1826.
