We need your HELP AND SUPPORT
Please consider joining the choir: we need more voices.You don’t have to sing solos or be a dominant voice, just join us in song. Choir practice starts on Wednesday, September 4 at 4:00pm. We will begin practicing for our Christmas Contata at that time.
Hope to see you there. Nancy

If interested or you need more information, please contact Sherry Anderson at 231-972-7679. She needs to know how many want to join so she can offer the books by mid-August. God Bless.
Backpacks and School Supplies
God’s Helping Hands of Mecosta County will be giving away backpacks with school supplies inside to needy children in our communities. This will take place the month of August on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9am-12noon at God’s Helping Hands by the food pantry door. This is for clients registered at God’s Helping Hands by the end of July.
We ask for your help by donating backpacks and school supplies for all age groups like spiral notebooks, pencils, pens, glue, highlighters, pencil boxes,etc.
Thank you, God’s Helping Hands
Thank You from the Finance Team
The sound system in our sanctuary is quite old and was needing some major improvements. Some money was used from the last Silent Auction to but a new stage box. The stage box works in conjunction with the PA system to improve the quality of the sound. The Memorial Committee generously donated the money to buy 2 new speakers, a powered sub, and new cables.
Mike Howe is working hard on getting all of this hooked up so we can enjoy the new sound!
So,thank you to all who donated or bought items at the Silent Auction, the Memorial Committee, and Mike Howe for making this happen! We are truly appreciative and are looking forward to hearing the new sound system!
‘MISSION OPPORTUNITIES’
Away Local Mission Trip (SEP 12-14, 2024): The “Mission & Retreat 2024” is a ‘go’. We are now compiling a list of participants, preparing registration packets and schedules,and seeking friends and neighbors to join us; maximum of 18 people. The mission work will consist of a variety of options for all ages, and will not be labor intensive. Contact anyone from the Mission Team, or Wally, to be added to our participants list. This will be an uplifting experience as we help local faith-based organizations support children and families of Mecosta County, and a time of renewal for everyone’s “faith walk”.
