Baby and toddler disposable diapers can be dropped off in the Pack'n'Play area near the Crossroads. A check may be made out to the Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church with the notation "Bottoms Up." Diapers may also be sent directly to:
Fish and Loaves
25670 Northline Rd.
Taylor, MI 48180
   If you choose to mail diapers directly to Fish and Loaves, keep your receipts. Fish and Loaves will provide confirmation of your donation in January 2016.
   Diapers will be distributed to qualified, low-income families with babies and toddlers. Our goal is to provide enough diapers so parents are able to take their children to daycare. By doing that, parents can go to work and provide for their families.

  

  

   Sunday Morning Ed. Hour series "The Gospel and Downton Abbey" continues through December 20th. The popular series portrays the deep and broad social changes that swept England over the course of the early 20th century. The roles of the gentry, of women, of the service class - the basic structure of the English world - were upended and reshaped.
   The class will explore both those societal rearrangements and the way in which they affected and were affected by faith and organized religion. An additional side benefit: You'll approach the series' final season more knowledgeably.
