Volunteers needed! This Easter season you can help provide a box of nutritious food for families in Whitmore Lake facing food insecurity. There are several family-friendly ways to participate. Follow the link to sign up to help. Contact Rev. Jon Reynolds, jon@brightonfumc.org.

  • Wednesday, March 25 (morning): Meet at a local grocery store with your car/truck or SUV to help us pick up the grocery order, then transport the groceries to the Whitmore Lake Campus. Help set up for food basket packing.
  • Thursday, March 26 (7-8 pm): Help pack 40 food baskets. Work by yourself, with a partner or as a family.
  • Saturday, March 28 (9:45 am): Help distribute the Easter Food Baskets. We need a few drivers to deliver the food boxes to families in the Whitmore Lake community. Two people (or families) are needed to stay at the church to distribute the Food Baskets to those recipients that will be picking them up.

Blanket Sunday

Wednesday, November 20th, 2024

Blanket Sunday, Nov. 16 and Nov. 23

The goal of Blanket Sunday is to raise funds for the purchase of warm blankets through a Church World Service (CWS) program. CWS distributes these heavy-duty blankets around the world to refugees, immigrants, people suffering from the effects of natural disasters, the homeless, or simply those in need for whatever reason.  Every $10 donated provides one blanket for a family experiencing financial hardship or natural disaster this winter. We hope you’ll help spread comfort and warmth this holiday season by donating to the Church World Service Blanket Sunday on Nov. 16 or Nov. 23. Volunteers will be in the community room or call the church office for more information.
You can also use the online giving portals (see links below) or you can send Blanket donations by check made out to First United Methodist Church of Brighton. Please send to 400 E. Grand River Ave., Brighton, MI 48116.
