Sack Lunch Program - A dedicated crew of volunteers, under the leadership of Delores Grier, prepares and serves sack lunches to anyone who comes to our door Monday - Friday, 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., from Labor Day through the end of June.  During the winter months, we usually also offer a cup of hot soup or chili.  This past year we served 6,175 lunches.

Global:

Eiguliai United Methodist Church in Kaunas, Lithuania - We have committed $350 each month in support of our partner church, Eiguliai Methodist Church.  On the fourth Sunday of each month we take up a "Noisy Bucket" offering with one hundred percent of that offering going to Eiguliai. 

Our Lithuania Mission Team has gone to Lithuania in 2001 and 2004 to explore the various ministries of the United Methodist church in Lithuania, worship with our partner church, and help to put on Bible camps.  In the summer of 2006 we brought the first Youth In Mission group from Eiguliai to the United States, so that they could spread the word about the work of the United Methodist Church in Lithuania as well as participate in some mission opportunities in the Metropolitan Detroit area.  Through various fundraisers throughout the year we are currently helping raise money to build a permanent church structure for the Eiguliai church.
