Monarch Butterfly Purchase (June) & Release (Aug. 30)
In June, you can subscribe to have a monarch butterfly egg raised to an adult. Then, in August, you get to release this beauty for its journey to Mexico. In 2025, we released nearly 100 monarch butterflies!
To subscribe, it's only $10 per butterfly. Most butterflies are in memory of, or in honor of, someone special. Payment must be received by Community Presbyterian Church before June 25 (or at the June 28 worship service). Mail, or drop off during office hours: Mon-Thurs 10-Noon. Include your contact information. Contact the church office for more information.
On August 30, you get to release a purchased butterfly at the end of a special outdoor service. The service starts at 10 a.m., and the release happens at the end of the service, about 11 a.m.
Charlie's Coats - Donation and Give Away
In November, several people from throughout the community, as well as church members, donated over 50 coats and jackets, pre-school through adult sizes.
Coats (and several knitted hats) were given to people who stopped in, and the remainder were given to Oakland Hope for its clientele.
The late Helen Sargent started this mission about 25 years ago to honor her late husband, Charles, who always had a heart for those who were in need.
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped.
Take a Sack, Bring It Back - to benefit Lighthouse
Deacons ran the Annual Food Drive to benefit the Lighthouse Emergency Service North for its Thanksgiving Program.
Three carloads of bags were delivered to Lighthouse North along with some Meijer gift cards.
Thank you on behalf of the Deacons and Lighthouse North

More Information:
Bible Studies: For example, recent discussions have been about "Different Women of the Bible." Women are often mentioned in the Bible, but little is typically said about them and their backgrounds. Some were powerful and notorious. Bring a Bible or borrow one from us. There is no cost.
Prayer Shawl Ministry: The group makes shawls, which are given to people needing special prayers and comfort. Are you just learning to knit or crochet? We have materials and plenty of help. There is no cost.
Jewelry-making Class: These free classes are led by Jenny Sansom, author of Healing with Gemstones (2023). Make your own jewelry and take it home, with the only cost being for your supplies. For example, earring supplies for $3 or a simple bracelet for under $10. It's a fun learning experience with a group of friendly people.
Garden Work Bee: Help sustain our Monarch Butterfly Waystation garden--help the butterflies and other pollinators. Learn about the plants, and share in some of the extra plants when we do thinning. Bring your favorite digging and trimming tools (and we have extras), and have fun playing in the dirt!
Adult Choir: Come sing with us! The adult "Chancel" choir helps lead the congregation for hymns and responses, and we typically have a special anthem each Sunday from September into June. Besides our Wednesday evening rehearsal, we meet at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday to warm up and review our music. We do a variety of music to support the church season and the day's message. Join us any time throughout the year!
Handbell Choir: Do you want to expand your handbell experience or maybe give it a try? We have a large set of bells and can easily welcome more ringers! The handbell choir plays regularly, about once a month.
