Community

Have you heard? On Sunday, May 6, we are hosting a large Community BBQ. We have such wonderful neighbors in the North End and Midtown Detroit communities and are excited to host a BBQ to offer a way for neighbors and this community to connect with each other. The Community BBQ has family friendly activities for people of all ages. There will be delicious food including BBQ beef ribs. There will be music, fun, games, a bounce house, health screenings, and community information available.

If you are a younger adult looking to be connected to a faith community, check out the Detroit Villages Community Gathering this Saturday, January 28. The event begins at 7:00 PM and will be located at Metropolitan UMC. For more information, please visit http://emergedetroit.org/calendar/january-gathering.
