Second Saturday Servants, November 14, 12:00 – 4:00
We will meet at Gleaners’ warehouse in Taylor to learn about the mission of Gleaners to alleviate hunger, and we will also work for a few hours to help them sort and pack food to send to feed hungry people. Participants are invited to bring some food to contribute.  Sign up on the bulletin board where you will find complete instructions for this event. The Gleaners activity is appropriate for all ages but we ask that children be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Habitat for Humanity Apostles Build Project
Work is underway on the Apostles Build Rehab house at 37241 Vincent in Westland.  We have churches scheduled for Saturdays, but we are in need of volunteers for Tuesdays, and Thursdays and some Wednesdays. If you are available to work on this house please contact Chuck Hodge at chodge@comcast.net or 453-0291. We can accommodate 4 to 6 people per work day.  Please DO NOT show up at the site without registering first. He will let the volunteers know what kind of work to expect on the work day. 

Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch meeting in November will be on Tuesday, November 17th. It is a program for seniors called “Safe, Sound and Secure”. This seminar takes place from 12-3pm at the Summit in Canton and includes a free lunch. Call Ralph or Bevis Richardson at 734-981-0290.

Inner-City Chicago Mission Project
Brad Harry, son of Geneva member Gail Harry, and Brad’s wife, Michelle, have a vibrant mission in inner-city Chicago. This Thanksgiving they will be packing and distributing 1600 Boxes of Love. Each box contains gospel literature, a 10-12 pound turkey and all the trimmings for a Thanksgiving meal that can feed a family of six. The boxes are delivered to needy families around the city by various inner-city ministries and churches. The boxes cost $30 each. If you would like to sponsor one or more families, you can do so with a debit or credit card at www.give.ccci.org/give/2582439.
