Our congregation takes a separate collection at each service for a charitable organization. The organization changes each quarter and is researched and presented for board approval. The goal is to have one international, one national, one Michigan and one local organization during the year. Anyone can suggest an organization for consideration. The collections are matched with congregational funds up to a $200 match. Through the generosity of our congregation in 2024-2025 we were able to provide $9,995 to our four charitable giving recipients.
