GriefShare
GriefShare Series began on Monday, July 24. It runs 7:00-8:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Dearborn. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Cost is $25 which includes the workbook and snacks. To register call Chris at 313-575-5853 or go to: griefshare.org to sign up.
Family Lunch
Join us for a complimentary lunch on the second Sunday of the month, after worship. We will plan a simple meal with beverages and dessert included.
Any questions or would like to help, call Chris Mayer @ 313-575-5853

Food Pantry
We are now collecting food items for the Cherry Hill Presbyterian Food Bank every week instead of just once a month. The bins will be in the narthex as usual. We ask that as you go out the door to church you grab some needed item and bring it with you! The need is great because a federally funded program has come to an end and more people are in need of more help. Please note: in addition to food items, the pantry is in need of household items such as toilet paper, toothpaste, paper towels, kleenex, dish detergent, shampoo and conditioner, and bar soap.
Card Ministry
We will be meeting in Mitchell Hall. During the program year, a group of people who enjoy crafting and serving others to make cards for our homebound/special care members and those who have a special need going on in their life. If you enjoy stamping, coloring, using die cutting tools, OR just want a fellowship opportunity, then join us! (we have treats too!) ALL are welcome, no experience necessary. There are tasks for every level of participation.
