“Our love to God is measured by our everyday fellowship with others and the love it displays.”  ~ Andrew Murray

 The Tillers since 1959....

The Tillers Group was established in 1959 as a couples group with Christ as our Pilot, the Bible as our Compass, and the Church as our Anchor. As time passed, many of our members became widowed, and we have evolved into more a fellowship group welcoming all ages, married, single, etc. to join us on our adventures.

The focus of our meetings have changed. We used to have speakers, Bible study and did a lot of service work around the church (such as painting the kitchen, polishing the pews and any other thing that needed to be done!), potluck dinners, and yearly installation of new officers.

We still have potlucks dinners and "movies" with discussion, but we have added outings such as concerts, Detroit Institute of Arts, Haunted Hayrides, and other seasonal and fun events. We also provide dinner for the children at The Second Mile Center of Detroit on Monday evenings.

We would love to have more people involved in our group. We carpool and travel together to our events. Whether you are married, single, young or older, please consider coming to one of our meetings. We generally meet on the Second Saturday of each month from September to June. Please watch the church calendar in The LITE, the church website, and the church newsletter, The GOOD WORD for more information.

Come all are welcome.

Marriemates...now Merry Mates

Marriemates began over 50 years ago as a couples' club.  No longer a group of married people, as many have lost their mates; the group now calls itself the Merry Mates.  A group of "retired" friends who enjoy socializing with each other at monthly luncheons at various restaurants. They normally meet the third Saturday of the month during daylight hours.  Through monthly dues of $1 per person and generous donations, this group continues to bless two families each holiday season with a complete holiday meal.  New members are welcome at any time.  Carol Webb - 313-562-5298.

Shipmates Fellowship Group...32 years and going strong. 

Young Adult

Waverunners

A fellowship group of families, young adults, children and friends.  New friends and families are always welcome. Everyone is always welcome to join us.  We have a summer and winter camp, we do service work and we meet occasionally during the year. 

The Friendship Group

The Friendship Group is made up of retired folks who like to share good company, exchange fabulous thoughts and ideas, take adventures, and of course, break bread together. The Fellowship Group normally meets on the fourth Thursday of the month (unless there is a holiday that month). Many of our activities are “road trips.” They travel by the church (handicap/wheelchair accessible) van. The cost for transportation is $2. If you would like to be included on a phone tree for news, call the office at 313-383-0100.
