Calling All Veterans and Faith Family! Please say "Thank You" to our active Military Service Family! We pray for them every week... please take a few minutes and write a note of thankfulness and appreciation for these soldiers and put them in the basket by our beautiful Veterans' Tree in Heins Hall. Note the soldier’s name on the note if you have a preference. We will include the notes with the yummy care packages that will be shipped or delivered personally when they attend. Our Faith members on active military duty are Anthony Bryant-Ott (Army), Noah Hall (Marines), Harry Helmick (Marines), Cassandra Horne (Air Force), and Nathan Priestap (Marines). Any questions? Contact Deb Lund at 810-922-7328 or Carole Schultz 810-869-1958.

Student Mentoring: The Board of Social Ministry has entered into an alliance with Grand Blanc Academy to provide volunteers and assistance to children that need mentoring. We are looking for individuals that have compassion for children. We will be setting up a schedule to go into the classroom and help with reading and sight words. The more willing participants we have, the more classrooms we can support. This is just the beginning of this partnership; we are hoping to provide other areas of help and instructions. If you are interested, please contact Marcy Montez at 810-869-4479 or marcella57@comcast.net.
Feed our Firefighters Youth+ Service Event: On Monday, December 5th, youth and families will once again share Jesus' love with our neighbors by providing a meal to Grand Blanc City Firefighters during their monthly training meeting. To serve in this way, sign up and prepare your portion of the meal. Then meet at the fire station at 117 High St. at 5:30 p.m. to deliver the meal, say a brief prayer, and leave them to enjoy it. We need main dishes, bread, salad, and desserts to feed 15 to 20 people. Youth and families and all members are encouraged to participate. We also encourage the youth to make cards, pictures, or messages of appreciation to deliver along with the meal. Sign up to contribute to the meal HERE.
Youth Christmas Caroling: Join us Sunday, December 11th, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for youth Christmas caroling! Youth are invited to meet together and do some Christmas caroling in the Grand Blanc community. We’ll visit area assisted living homes and sing in their lobbies for any residents who will come and listen. Following the caroling, the group will return to Faith for some Christmas treats and hot cocoa. We need youth to sing, parents to help drive, cookies, and someone to prepare the hot cocoa for our return. Please sign up HERE. Thanks!
