~ OPPORTUNITIES TO BE OF SERVICE AT THE WELCOME INN (SOUTH OAKLAND CITIZENS FOR THE HOMELESS SOCH): Please let Rev. Renee know if you can be of service for the unhoused in Royal Oak.

SOCH is located at what used to be the Starr Presbyterian Church building, located on the corner of 13 Mile and Crooks in Royal Oak. The SOCH and its Welcome Inn Day Center is the only low-barrier wintertime day center in South Oakland County.

~ WEEKLY RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS WEEK: Listen with an open mind and heart

~ FALL CHURCH MUSIC CONCERT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2026: We hope you will join us for this fundraiser music concert that will be open to the community and with friends online! The First Congregational Church of Royal Oak has offered to let us use their building at no cost and also to use their online capability. Keep an eye out for more details!

~ THE PAWNEE ROCK KANSAS CHURCH CONTINUES TO WORSHIP WITH OUR ROYAL OAK CHURCH SERVICES While the Church of the Southwest Desert in Silver City, New Mexico, now has a Licensed Pastor to serve their congregation, they no longer are in need of our recorded service. The Pawnee Rock Church of the New Jerusalem still seeks a variety of worship resources, so their congregation will worship with us occasionally by watching our services - recorded on youtube. Their time zone is central and takes place earlier than ours - so they will watch and worship when they gather. We will include them in prayer and stay in touch with their congregation as sister church in our denomination.
