On Wednesday and Thursday, volunteer teams will work side by side with Detroit church members in activities that include assisting a mobile medical/dental clinic, providing home repairs, teaching English to immigrants from at least a dozen nations, being immersed in an experience of living on the street, and participating in a Detroit version of “Sankofa.”

The Covenant Annual Meeting will take place June 27-30 at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. Click here for more information.
