Disaster Relief Ministry in Gladwin, MI
We had an opportunity to send 10 people to Gladwin to help with Disaster Relief in the areas affected by the recent flooding. There is still a significant amount of work that still needs to be completed to help the people of Gladwin County (and beyond) to recover from the devastation of the floods. If you are able to help on Saturday, June 13 or Saturday, June 27 we will tentatively plan on sending crews up to work those days. Please see the signup genius link below to indicate your interest.
We won’t know what work can or will need to be done until a day or two prior. You will want to plan on it being pretty grungy, manual labor.
If you have signed up already, please watch your email on Monday or Tuesday. Pastor Jonathan hopes to have details on our trip for Saturday sent out to those who expressed interest.

To save you from having to read through the entire newsletter, you should know that there are not many updates to the newsletter from last week. We do hope you know that we (both the Pastors and the rest of the congregation) are longing to gather back together again, and we are praying for you. If you have a need please do not hesitate to reach out.
Serving during COVID 19
We recognize that many in our church family have been finding unique ways to serve and care for one another. This has been a joy to see and a joy to receive the acts of love performed by Christ’s saints. We would encourage you to continue to consider how we can continue to challenge one another to “love and good works” during these unusual days. In addition to your spontaneous works for God’s glory, here are some additional opportunities where you could serve the Lord in the days ahead.
