We share our Christian hope and give our prayer support and love to Gordon DeHaan and his family in the death of his wife Virginia, this past Wednesday.

“We frequently make Jesus too small, emphasizing his being human more than his being God. In your everyday life, do you treat Jesus as all powerful, everywhere present, and all knowing? When we live our life in the presence of this Savior and King, every moment takes on eternal significance. Jesus is almighty, alive, and at work over all things today. Do you believe and live by this?” Quoted from Today

Friends Ministry Helping Hands is looking for home repair projects for this summer. Past projects have included roofing, painting, yard work, wheelchair ramps, window washing, etc. to Missaukee County homeowners who don’t have the resources to do the work. Work teams will be arriving in June and July with people, tools, skills and some amount of funding for the projects. When we get a referral, we will go to the home and check it out, and try to get the project adopted by a visiting Helping Hands Church. We cannot adopt all the projects that we look at, but we typically can complete 25-30 projects each summer. If you know of someone with a need, please contact Friends Ministry (231) 839-8816 or email us at friendsministry@yahoo.com. God is Good, All the Time!
