On December 6, 2024, a small group of Nardin Park folks are putting on a Christmas party for 300 clients of Crossroads, a social service agency in Detroit. It will be held at Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church from 11 o’clock to 2 o’clock.
Crossroads runs the only soup kitchen available on Sundays in the city of Detroit.
We will be providing a sitdown meal, entertainment, presents, and a lot of fun for these individuals.
Donations to purchase food for this event are currently in high need.
Volunteers are needed to fill gift bags and to serve at the dinner. Assistance is also needed December 5th to set up the venue or the morning of December 6th. Please contact MarySue if you are able to help! MarySue will also be in the Narthex throughout November on Sunday's collecting names for volunteering.

Operation Common Good has partnered with Farmington Youth Assistance to provide gifts to youth ages 10 through 18 years of age. Nardin Park has been one of their biggest supporters and they have again asked for our help. We committed to providing gifts for 30 youth this year. This program will be called Operation Christmas Angel.
The process is simplified. Each recipient will receive 5 gifts; a sweatshirt, a pair of pajama pants, a $25 gift card, a $15 fast food gift card and a game or item of their choice.
The gifts need to be returned no later than Sunday, December 8th to Nardin Park. Please return gifts unwrapped and clearly labeled with the Angel number on the items.
Thank you Nardin Park for your generosity in making Christmas a little brighter for these youth!
Please contact Laura O. with questions.
Thank you!
The Nardin Park Mission team would like to thank our congregation for contributing 60 gift cards and 90 gifts consisting of sweatshirts, hoodies, PJ bottoms and games. Your generosity and kindness will make these youth feel loved and have a brighter Christmas. Thanks to Laura Olson for coordinating this project and putting each of the Angels gifts in canvas bags.
