Mission Detroit begins on Tuesday evening, June 25, with dinner, worship and orientation in Clark Park, which is within view of the historic Ambassador Bridge to Canada.

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.
