The women of Faith actively work on various projects, living out our Faith to help others inside and outside of our congregation.

Outside, we support the work of First Step, a shelter for abused women serving Wayne County with various gifts. We also have donated handmade quilts to the organization. In addition, our WELCA group has spearheaded many drives to provide items, such as health and education supplies, to be distributed throughout the nation and the world.

The women of Faith are active in the work of the WELCA group of Southeast Michigan, attending conferences and conventions, as well as participating in its annual banquet to honor women at work in the church. Each fall, we collect school supplies as part of that larger effort. Faith has hosted events for the Southeast Michigan WELCA.

The Faith Bookstore is located in the Memorial Garden Hallway and is staffed for 20 minutes before and 15 minutes after the 10:00am service on Sunday mornings, September through mid-June. Usually someone is available earlier in the morning to help those who wish to purchase items. The Bookstore can always use more sellers. You usually are only scheduled once a month. Requirements to man the Bookstore ~ you must be friendly (it's a great opportunity to get to know Faith folks), handle money transactions, and keep track of items sold so that they can be reorderd. Items can be purchased during the week anytime the building is open. Payment can be given to the church secretary or put in an envelope and slid through the chuch office mail slot.

Quilters ~ "The Piece Makers"

The Piece Makers have been involved in making quilts for various groups since its inception in 2000. We have made quilts for First Step, a shelter of abused women and children, and Lutheran World Relief. Every year we also makes quilts to present to our congregation's high school graduates which are given to them during a service in June. The graduates can take the quilts with them off to college and carry with them a piece of their Faith family. 

At present we are involved in making quilts for service personnel injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. So far, we have made 36 of these "Comfort Quilts." These quilts are sent directly to a medical site in the war zone.

Anyone interested in being of service is welcome to join. Minimal sewing skills are required. We meet every Wednesday from 9:30am-2:30am in the Choir Room. Bring a lunch if can stay through the noon hour. We meet all year long as long as someone can come. Contact the church office with any questions.                               

Prayer Ministry

Prayer is vital to the life of every Christian and church. Our Prayer Ministry tries to share this with others. Like every congregation, Faith includes many in its Sunday prayers - members, members' families and also friends. We send notes to everyone included in our prayers so that they know that we are thinking of them and offering up prayers on their behalf. Anyone can be involved in this caring service to others. In addition to adding those in need to our own individual prayers, you can help by taking a turn to write notes to those added to our list of prayer concerns. Please contact Julia Machnak or the church office if you would like further information.
