Soup will be provided but we ask that you bring a side to share.

Support for the Little Free Pantry

The local Little Free Pantry is frequently used by community members and still accepts donations. Please bring items that can tolerate freezing temperatures to church and leave in the designated box in the entryway!
Diapers, baking items (flour, sugar, spices), microwaveable rice and pasta, cereal/granola/oatmeal, granola bars/cracker packs, and just-add-water pancake and biscuit mixes are in particularly high demand.
Thank you for your generosity!
Avoiding Scams and Frauds Presentation
with Keely Frye, LTBB Community Outreach Educator
Sunday, March 22 from 11:30am-12:30pm
Wood Fellowship Hall
The tools of conmen are different today, but their aim is the same- to separate you from your money and valuables. Join Keely on March 22 after the 10am service to learn about various scams, ways to protect yourself and what you do if you or someone you know has been affected. Participants will have a chance to fill a cup of coffee or tea, enjoy a snack and a little conversation before gathering to hear the presentation at 11:30am.
The public is welcome. Wood Fellowship Hall is accessible with an elevator or stairs.
Presenter Keely Frye has a Bachelor’s in Social Work and has used her degree as a foster care specialist, victim witness coordinator for the Charlevoix County Prosecutor’s office and the last 13 years as an advocate for survivors of crime at the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
