“Feed Your Neighbor” (*Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty)
Grief share Group at Compelled Church
It hurts to lose someone. Find help at Grief Share starting in September at Compelled Church in Bedford.
Grief Share is thirteen week program that incorporates a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. Compelled Church wants you to know that you don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. Grieving can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before. When it may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future we want to be here for you, and help guide the way.
GriefShare is a nationally recognized program, and one person who attends stated, “Going to Grie fShare feels like having warm arms wrapped around you when you’re shivering.”
GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Join us at Compelled Church in Bedford, Michigan located at 8970 Jackman Road Bedford, Michigan. For more information visit www.CompelledChurch.tv or call (734)850-0051.

Garden Park Christian Church 60th Anniversary
Garden Park Christian Church, 8605 Salisbury Road in Monclova, will celebrate 60 years of ministry this September. Approximately 225 people from throughout the greater Toledo area routinely gather just west of the Quarry subdivision and across the road from the Lexington Glen subdivision in Monclova. Garden Park is part of a movement of non-denominational churches known as “The Restoration Movement”. Individual members call themselves “Christians” only, but they do not think of themselves as the “only Christians.” The movement continues to include all people who trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Garden Park Christian Church is not part of a denomination and has no governing headquarters, but chooses to base their faith and practice on the teachings of the Bible alone. Recognized as a conservative evangelical church, Garden Park began in 1955 with a meeting space in the old Fall-Meyer Elementary School building. In 1957, the congregation moved into a newly constructed building on Holland-Sylvania Road, and eventually built an addition to that structure. Forty-eight more years of steady growth led to the decision to look for a new location. A giving campaign, specifically designated for relocation and construction, launched in 2000. Members of the church gave gifts in addition to their regular offering. Groundbreaking took place in July 2002, and on May 25, 2003, Garden Park celebrated the first worship service in its newly built facility on Salisbury Road. Continue reading
