Howard City, MI 49339

Service in the Park

July 20 | 10 am

Join us for a refreshing time of worship and fellowship under the open sky at the pavilion at Pierson Township Hall (21156 W Cannonsville Rd, Pierson, MI 49339). There’s something special about gathering in God’s creation — surrounded by trees, fresh air, and the sounds of nature — as we lift our voices and hearts together. As Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Bring your Bible, your favorite camp chair, and a spirit ready to connect — not just with God, but with one another. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). We can’t wait to see you there!

Versiti Blood Drive

July 22 | 2:30-7pm

We invite you to make a life-saving impact by participating in the Versiti Blood Drive at Pierson Township Hall (21156 W Cannonsville Rd, Pierson, MI 49339). Every donation can help save up to three lives — a small act with eternal significance. In a world where emergencies strike without warning, your gift of blood can be the miracle someone is praying for. As Proverbs 3:27 reminds us, “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Whether you’re a first-time donor or a regular, your generosity matters more than ever. Join us, roll up your sleeve, and be the reason someone sees another tomorrow.
