Cookies for Crossroads!!     

Thank you for your generous support of the 2020 Cookies for Crossroads project. 176 gift bags containing one dozen cookies, frosting, and sprinkles were assembled and sent to Crossroads Farm - a facility for at-risk rural youth in western Michigan. So, thanks to those who baked and to those who provided financial support for supplies. Once again, St. Paul’s has joined together to bring these young people some CHRIST-mas joy!!
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds...but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

We live in a world where there is much need—whether it’s hunger, housing, disaster relief, or providing a variety of needed assistance within our communities. St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Livonia, Michigan, has a tradition of actively reaching out to those in need. Whether it’s a local or a national need, we have been there to help. Our relief efforts have included participating in supporting tornado relief in Oklahoma and Missouri, hurricane relief efforts on the East Coast, as well as Puerto Rico and Louisiana. The photo is of our travels in 2018 to Puerto Rico to repair roofs and local homes of survivors of Hurricane Maria. Our local ongoing efforts include working as part of Life Remodeled (Detroit), Habitat for Humanity, Crossroads Soup Kitchen, Redford Interfaith Relief, Detroit Medical Relief and Gleaners Community Food Bank. St. Paul’s has its own onsite food pantry serving our communities and we open our facilities to many area meetings. We offer worship, Bible Studies, and a variety of fellowship, spiritual and prayer-filled activities that are open to all to allow us to “Feed people—body, mind and spirit”. Our efforts are not impossible with your help!

crop 2019Thank you to those who donated to the annual CROP Walk! We are grateful for your support! The St. Paul’s team goal was set at $1,000.00. It's been a hard year for everyone, but especially for those who don't have the safety nets and protections surrounding many of us. These donations will help people globally through the work of Church World Service and locally right here in our community through the food banks in Livonia, Garden City, Redford, and Farmington.

CROP Walk 2019

Members of St. Paul’s raised over $1600 in this, the 50th Anniversary of Crop Hunger Walks. CROP Hunger Walks are community-wide events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by religious groups, businesses, schools and others to raise funds to end hunger in the U.S. and around the world.
