Children's Worship Bags

Worship bags are provided for your children to use during Worship. They are located in the large basket on the floor in the Narthex. Please remind your child to leave crayons, sewing cards, pencils, and pipe cleaners in their bags.  PLEASE TAKE HOME any "masterpieces" they may have created. Taking out used sheets of paper helps keep the bags ready for the next child. Thanks!

Children's Choir

The children's choirs - SonRise, Promise and Rhythm 56 - rehearse on Wednesdays during our mid-week program called BLAST! and Club 56. Come join the fun on Wednesday afternoons beginning at 4:45 p.m. After hearing such wonderful singing at VBS this year, we're hoping to see many of you in choir to share those wonderful voices!

Orchard's Recording Ministry  

You can now listen to the whole recorded worship services on CD or to the sermons from the website! CDs are available for loan (no charge) or purchase (suggested donation of $1 is asked to help defray the printing/recording costs) on the Monday afternoon following the service. Contact the office staff with any questions (248) 626-3620, or come into the church office to pick up a recording. Services recorded prior to January 2007 will be available for a short time on cassette tapes.
