Holy Faith Church, Lutheran and Episcopal, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Our outreach ministry efforts are some of the primary ways we express God's desire for a just, peaceful, and equitable community. This work is always open to new participants. For more information, please check the bulletin board in the church or contact the office (429-2991 or Email the office).

Delonis Shelter: We help on the 5th Tuesday (of any month that has one) by preparing and serving a meal to the homeless and/or hungry.

Monthly Special Gifts Offering: We take this opportunity to give something extra each month to special needs such as St. Peter's church in Tecumseh to support their program of feeding migrant workers, or Food Gatherers, which combats hunger in SE Michigan, or international relief and development organizations.

Preemie Hats and Quilts: We knit tiny hats and make wee quilts for those that start out life too early.  This ministry began in 2007 and it is a community project with the Quilting Season, a local quilt store, serving as a drop-off point for completed quilts and hats. The items collected serve the Mott's NICU and St. Joseph's NICU.  Anyone interested in making hats or quilts can contact May Wake.

Crop Walk: Our members participate in the annual Saline Area Crop Walk to raise money for the hungry.

Saline Area Social Services: SASS has a special place in our hearts. Don Dersnah, our  Deacon, is the director of SASS and we support his efforts by providing holiday meal baskets, food and toiletry drives and monetary donations throughout the year.

Seeds of Hope Garden: In 2009 we launched an annual (seasonal) garden on our site to provide fresh, organic produce to low-income people through a local food bank and distributor, Food Gatherers.  The entire output of the garden was over 600 lbs our first year.

Appalachia Service Trip: We are currently fund-raising and planning for a June, 2011 service trip to raise roofs and fix homes in Appalachia through the Appalachia Service Project.

Special Meals: Our members prepare and serve meals at senior centers around Saline.
