Ministry Teams work together to minister to the needs of the congregation, the needs of the community, and the needs of the world. Match your talents and interests to one of the ministry teams and volunteer!
REAP Sewing Group
The Reap sewing group uses donated fabric and supplies to make everything from lap robes to door draft dodgers. Last year the group made bibs, baby blankets, lab robes, children's clothing, baby sweaters, hats and scarves of all sizes, tote bags, slippers, and hospital gowns. They also fill new baby bags for the Pregnancy Care Center to distribute. New members are always welcome. Meetings are the first Monday and the third Friday from 9 am - noon of each month in the Sewing Room of the church. Contact Arlene Richardson (269-684-2858).
Community Lunch
We as a Church will resurrect the Community Lunches in a new way starting Oct 14. The Salvation Army serves to-go lunches 5 days a week at their 15th St. location in Niles. We will provide the food for them the 2nd Wednesday of each month. We will deliver the food to them and then leave. Their team of 4 people put together meals in to-go containers with lids to give to folks at their door. If you would like to be part of this worthwhile mission, call the church office. We will rotate helpers, so everyone will get a chance to participate.
