Opportunities for Service
There are many opportunities for service in the area of mission and outreach at our church. Here are some current projects where you may be able to contribute:
  • Drivers Needed….Can you spare a day this summer to drive for a good cause? For several years, our congregation has provided transportation for children attending Camp New Day, a United Methodist-sponsored camp for children with a parent in prison. This summer, we are in need of drivers to or from the camp in Reed City, MI. If you could spare a few hours on August 3 or August 8, please contact Jen Teal.

  • South Oakland Shelter (SOS), August 24-August 31….We have something for everyone! Late nighters can be a part of a night security team (shifts are from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. and from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.). Early risers whip up some of the finest breakfast in town (from 5:30-7:30 a.m.). For those who yearn for the open road, transportation duty (to Royal Oak) is for you. Morning or early evening shifts available! If a little early evening socializing interests you, why not be a host? Whatever your interest, there is a place for you. Volunteer sign-up will take place in Fellowship Hall on Sunday. If you have any questions, please call either Kathy Nauer or Page Gorman.

  • Here I Am, Lord, Send Me….to Ghana! We will continue to serve God’s beloved widows and orphans in Kumasi, Ghana with our Ghana Mission III, December26, 2008 through January 5, 2009. Give yourself or someone else a different kind of Christmas gift this year with a mission opportunity that will change your life and that of the people we go to serve. The cost is approximately $2500 plus immunizations. Talk to Jeff Nelson (646-6407 ext. 3129) or Sally Meese for more information or e-mail Sally for answers to frequently asked questions. Please indicate your interest soon to insure that we achieve our minimum number to go.
