Area Announcements

Due to the Easter holiday, the Literature Subcommittee and the Area Service Committee for the month of April will be held on the FOURTH Sunday of the month at Jacob’s Well immediately following the 2pm Retreat Subcommittee meeting. Literature will start at 3pm, Area will start at 4pm.

Our NW Area Service Committee has recently created an Ad-Hoc Subcommittee to work specifically on reviewing and providing suggested amendments to our Northwestern Michigan Area Service Committee Guidelines. We have elected Josh O. to chair this Ad-Hoc subcommittee and he will need many dedicated members who are both well seasoned in service and new to the service structure to help! The monthly Ad-Hoc Subcommittee meeting will be held on the second Saturday of each month at 1:15pm at Friends of the Light Church (5/O).

The Northwestern Michigan Area Service Committee will now be hybrid!
