Other Things to Know About
PRAYER COVENANT IF YOU WISH to be remembered in prayer, or know of someone who needs intercessory prayer, please contact the church office (231) 946-5680. YOU MIGHT LIKE to know that the Prayer Covenant group in our church is a viable and well received ministry. Often the covenant is made aware of a current crisis in someone’s life and 20-plus people bend their heads in prayerful concern. We find the power of prayer to be mighty indeed. IF YOU HAVE ever considered being a member of the covenant, we encourage you to call the church office.
HOSPITAL VISITATION ~ DUE TO HIPPA PRIVACY RULES AT MUNSON MEDICAL CENTER, if you would like visits from the pastors and our lay hospital visitors when you or a loved one is hospitalized, you must identify yourself as Presbyterian and say YES to the question regarding whether or not you would like clergy visits during your stay. An even better option is to phone the church office and let us know you or a loved one is hospitalized. Please keep us informed so we can care for you!
BABY ROSE	THE TLC COMMITTEE welcomes the opportunity to place a rose and engraved vase on the communion table in honor of our newborns in the church, however, the church office isn't always notified as to when a newborn has arrived. If you are a parent of a newborn, please call the church office, 946-5680, and ask for Debbie. You may have the rose placed on the table as soon after birth as possible, or you may choose to have the rose placed on the table on the day of the child's baptism. In the past, some grandparents have ordered a rose and vase to share the good news of a newborn grandchild. This is also welcomed, just contact teh church office, 946-5680, for details and cost.
	THE PRAYER GARDEN The purpose of the Prayer Garden is to provide a place on the church property for the permanent placement of ashes from cremation for church family members and friends of the church, as well as a retreat for meditation and prayer for all who wish to use it.
