Congregational Connections
Christian Connections is a Diaconate Board sponsored support group for the church. The focus of this program is to provide support to those members and friends of our Congregation who are in need or are unable to be as active in church activities as they might wish. Our contacts and support become their "connection" with their/our church. Please consider how you can give the gift of your time to another person in our church. For more information call Chuck Cady or Marilyn Cerny.

Visioning Committee
The Visioning Committee has completed their work and copies of their report have been distributed. This document will provide useful guidance to all Boards and Committees. Thank you for a job well done!

Choir
Music is an important part of our worship. We are provided with exceptional music and accompaniment by Marion Glover and Diantha Naftali. Our church has an outstanding choir, directed by Margaret Bell. New members are always welcome! Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 7:15. Additional music by youth and invited guests often enriches our worship.

Men's Breakfast
Join the men for their monthly breakfast in the church basement at 7:30 AM, the first Tuesday of the month, except for occasional special programs on Saturday mornings. Good food and good fellowship!

Sunday School
Our Sunday School meets every Sunday from September through mid-June and focuses on children from kindergarten through 5th grade. Children attend church until after Children's Time, then report downstairs for Sunday School. Learn about our new center-based Sunday School Program.

Nursery
Children of all ages are welcome. Nursery care is also available throughout the service.

Congregational Women
The Congregational Women are an active group with regular monthly meetings designed around a variety of topics. Many members sew items of clothing to be distributed to the Women's Resource Center Shelter. The group also sponsors an annual church wide gathering of personal items, children's activities and monetary donations for the Women's Resource Center. In addition, the Congregational Women serve the needs of families who desire a reception after the death of a loved one.

This group has also taken responsibility for the care and upkeep of our kitchen and organizes a variety of fund raisers for this purpose.

Food Pantry
As founders of the Leelanau Christian Neighbors Food Pantry, our church remains an active participant in this community service, with volunteers manning the Pantry in our church basement and collecting and delivering food to stock the Pantry. The Pantry is always in need of brown paper grocery bags. Please place them in the Pantry area in the lower level
