Join us on March 2nd at 7pm for a collaborative, expansive, Ash Wednesday service of reflection and hope as we mark the space between Christmas and Easter looking to the future and embracing God's grace and mercy. Instead of the imposition of ashes, we are invited to carry the ashes of the past away with us on cards along with the stardust of which we are all composed as children of God and of the universe.

NEXT, the name of the Birmingham Senior Center, has served the residents of Birmingham, Bingham Farms, Beverly Hills, Franklin, and surrounding areas since 1978. Their motto describes their mission: “Your place to stay active and connected.” They help seniors put the pieces together to find opportunities to enroll in a fitness, art or computer class or attend a speaker series. They can receive Meals on Wheels, get transportation on a Smart bus, a free consultation with an attorney or referrals to other services. Income qualified seniors can receive volunteer help or financial aid for yard services or home repairs. Your support will keep NEXT growing and thriving since they receive little municipal support and rely on donations from those who value the contributions of older adults. For more information join us in The Parlor or on Zoom immediately following our worship service on Sunday, Marcy 6th.

In a world that glorifies youth, disregards old age, and fears mortality, our Keynote Speaker Rosemary Insley will inspire you to embrace the freedom of the later years to discover a new life of spiritual reflection, grace and wisdom. Gather with us for our service on March 13th at 10:30am to learn about spirituality, aging, and growing in freedom amidst experiences of decline Artwork Credit: Under God's Wing by Rev.
