Hands-On Mission Opportunity

The Mission in Service Committee is planning a volunteer opportunity with the organization “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” on Saturday, September 13 from 8:30am to 12pm at the Lowe’s in Westland (6555 N Newburgh Rd, Westland–approximately a 35-minute drive). Volunteers will make beds for kids who don’t have one, and will have the opportunity to learn, or hone, their skills at cutting, sanding, drilling, assembling, staining, and branding. Our goal is to make 50 beds! Register online. You will be asked to sign a waiver. Dress in clothing you don’t mind getting dirty and wear closed-toe shoes. All tools are provided and all skill levels are welcome. Minimum age is 12-years-old with a guardian. Car pooling will be organized. Come join us to help serve our community!

Sign Up Today for CROP Walk

Support walkers by visiting the sign-up table in the CE Lobby, or visit to make an on-line donation. FPCRO’s team name is Fpcro25. This year, the CROP Walk is Sunday, September 21, starting at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Ferndale, located at 540 W. Lewiston Ave. Walkers should arrive at 1:45pm for the 2pm start. Last year, the five participating churches raised $11,007 in donations. FPCRO raised $2,000 and donations were equal between on-line and in-person donations. This year, your donations are even more urgent with USAID in disarray. CROP Walk is another way in which to demonstrate FPCRO’s commitment to being a Mathew 25 church. Thank you for your continued support of this very important mission.
