Positive Alternatives update: The matching gifts campaign this past spring reached 95% of the $100,000 goal. They are thrilled and are planning the next steps for the future... of ways to bring hope, help, and healing to families in Huron & Tuscola counties. Thank you for your generous giving as the Baby Bottle Boomerang concludes. Every penny, raised helps provide free pregnancy tests, parenting classes, and material support for moms and dads in our community. Please put the date of October 30, 2025 on your calendar for their Fall Banquet.


Volunteers Needed: The Cheeseburger Encounter will be taking place August 8-17 in Caseville and your help is needed as we proclaim Jesus to the masses.

Please direct any questions or suggestions to Pastor Dave or one of the elders.
