"What would you sacrifice to hear God's voice for the poor?"
Media Fast Weekend - Fast from all electronic entertainment

All youth are invited to an in-house retreat to include a Saturday service project in Alma. Any adult or youth who wishes to participate with the service project please plan to meet at His Place by 1:00 pm on Saturday. We will go door to door collecting food items for the Salvation Army's "Gratiot County Hunger Network" and pray for our community. Please contact Pastor Ben if you have questions, 463-8903.

CHRISTCARE SMALL GROUPS

ChristCare Small Groups are places for equipping. As we explore together how we can live as Jesus' disciples, we discover and nurture our Spirit-given gifts for ministry. As we tell one another our faith stories, we become better able to share those stories with the people we encounter each day. We support one another in our groups, encouraging group members to try new ways of living for Jesus. ChristCare Small Groups can also be a wonderful place to invite people who do not actively participate in a church. Sometimes they will be more likely to say yes when we invite them to a smaller, more intimate gathering of Christians. Then the Holy Spirit can use the Scriptures, the prayers, and the faith stories shared in ChristCare Groups to bring the gift of the faith in Jesus to these people.

Our ChristCare small group meetings take place on the following nights and locations:
