Mission Moment
2026-03-08 11:30 - 12:00 | The Parlor, 300 Willits St, Birmingham, MI, 48009, United States
Our March mission offering is for KIVA, an international nonprofit organization that helps marginalized people worldwide who do not have access to banks, credit cards or debit cards to obtain short term loans. KIVA was established in 2005 when the first loan was given to a woman who had a fish mongering business and sold fish in baskets to local markets in Uganda. A $500 loan changed her life. Nineteen years later, 5 million people have received loans through this organization.
In 2019, an account was opened by our church and started with $805. Joan Trusty took care of this account and through KIVA we loaned out $3,915 to 369 people in 61 countries. The loans are paid back by the recipients and then the money is loaned out again.
In Joan’s last days, she began withdrawing the money from our account with KIVA and returning it to Sanctuary. The Outreach Team has decided to reinstate the account with previous funds and using our March mission offering to add to the account. We are calling it The Joan Trusty Memorial KIVA Fund. Paige Moore-Anderson will help us manage the account and help select the KIVA recipients.
You are invited to come to the parlor after services on March 8th to hear Paige tell us more about this organization.

The Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) serves as a vital legal resource for immigrant communities across the state, and it is the only Michigan-based nonprofit offering free legal advice on the immigration court’s pro bono list. MIRC’s experienced attorneys and advocates provide legal services, including detention and removal defense, consultations, and guidance for individuals facing deportation. It is a program of Michigan Statewide Advocacy Services (MSAS), funded through federal, state, and local grants, as well as foundations and nonprofit partners.
MIRC also provides education and training on immigration law and immigrant rights, builds statewide coalitions with social justice organizations, and represents clients in cases involving civil rights violations, and access to public benefits.
Individual donations are essential to meet their growing demand for services.

$35 supports one hour of a detained advocacy hotline
$75 covers a detained client’s attorney consultation
$280 funds a full day of advocacy support

To learn more about MIRC, please meet in the parlor after worship on Sunday, April 12.
