Update

Friends:

I pray for all of during this time of Lent.

Some updates for your consideration:

Lenten Services: We are presenting unique services on Wednesday nights during Lent. These services will help shape the new community we hope to create on Sunday evenings in the near future. These services call us to reflection about five different ways God speaks to us. Soup is served at 5:30 followed by a short service at 6:15 pm. I invite you to check out this new service.

Echoes to be available on-line: Our paper newsletter, the Echoes, will be made available on-line starting in March. You will be able to access it through our website or we can e-mail it to you. This follows the “green” principal of reducing the need for paper and will financially help our church with postage/production costs. If you would like to electronically subscribe to the Echoes, please e-mail our office manager Jennifer at sjlcredord@yahoo.com.

Solomon's Porch this Thursday: We will meet as usual at First Cup coffee house from 7-8 pm. First Cup is located at the southeast corner of Five and Inkster in Redford Township. The topic for discussion this week will be a look at the presidential candidates and how they will address environmental concerns if elected. Come out and share your opinion and find out where the candidates stand on this issue. Remember, whether we agree or disagree, all voices are welcome in the discussion.

Green Request of the week: Are you one of those people who use a signature on your e-mail? Have you seen others signatures and wished you had one? This is your chance to investigate/implement it and help the environment in the process. Why not join me in cutting and pasting the following statement into your e-mails? Even if you don’t create a signature you could easily place it at the end of your e-mail correspondence. Thank you in advance.
Tag statement for the end of e-mails:

P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Social Ministry Update:



Wayne County Family Center (WCFC) Update: We are now just three weeks away from our initial feeding at the Wayne County Family Center, a transitional housing unit for families in our county. We are scheduled to provide dinner for the residents the third Sunday and Tuesday of the month. There are still many chances to serve available in order to make this commitment happen. NO experience necessary.

WCFC Towel update : Our bath towel drive for WCFC continues to be a huge success. To date we have collected over 50 bath towels. Remember, each new family is given the towels when they arrive at the facility, and they take them with them when they transition to new housing, so new towels are always needed. Thanks to all who have participated in the service project.

Shoe Update: We have been collecting gently used shoes for redistribution among those in need in the metro Detroit area. To date we have collected over 25 pairs of shoes. Remember, these shoes help someone in need as well as address a “green” principal through the recycling of shoes.
