Coming
Events
Worship
We have two distinct styles of worship each Sunday. At 10 a.m. we gather
in the sanctuary to glorify God with pipe organ, choir, and great hymns
of the church. At 11:30 a.m. we join together in the chapel (located in
the Christian Education building) to praise God in a relaxed manner with
lively contemporary music. Our goal at both services is to meet and respond
to our loving, living Lord.
A nursery for infants and toddlers is located on the second floor of the
Christian Education Building. Preschoolers usually go directly to their
class at the 10 a.m. hour, while older students worship with their families
for the first few minutes and go to their classes just before the message.
A broadly graded class for children during the contemporary service begins
at 11:30.
Coffee and juice are served after worship in the dining room and in the
chapel.
Wednesday Classes
"His Word, Her Hands", a Women's Bible Study and
Craft group led by Julie Smith at 7:00 p.m.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat is an organization that brings volunteers together to build simple,
decent, affordable houses with families in need. In recent years the Deacons
have been coordinating our involvement in Habitat's annual blitz build
in Pontiac. This year it will be June 13-28. Other FPC volunteers will
be working Wednesday, June 18 and Saturdays, June 21 and 28. Please contact
Bill Henry, 248-739-1097, for more information or to sign up.
A Few Good People Needed
FPC will again this year host a team of 12 Divine Design women from Calvary
Baptist in Canton and First Presbyterian Plymouth in an "Extreme
Makeover" venture in one of the homes on Seneca Street owned by Grace
Centers of Hope. Last year we opened our doors and kitchen to the group
to prepare and serve lunch for the women, prepare special snacks throughout
the day and just have a cool air-conditioned location for the women to
relax. For four days, Monday, June 23 - Thursday, June 26, we would like
to ask for volunteers who will come along side to help prepare meals and
snacks for these women who will be working in our community. The hours
would be approximately 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM. To obtain more information
about what the group will be doing please go to http://www.divinedesignbirdhouse.blogspot.com/
If interested in helping, please contact Julie Smith.

We're Going to be in a Parade!
On Monday, May 26, we all have an opportunity to represent our church
in the Waterford Memorial Day Parade. This is a great chance to get out
and share God's love with the community as well as spend some time with
fellow members. Everyone is invited to participate. You can either walk

than the last and, of course, we need your help to do that!
