We’re gathering for a last-minute event to assemble care packages for protestors. This is a simple, practical way to care for our neighbors and support justice-focused work. The kits will include snacks, warmth essentials, and basic supplies for people showing up for justice.
Where the kits are going:
• 100 kits will be sent to Minneapolis, Minnesota
• 100 kits will be shared locally and in downtown Detroit
Pizza will be provided for dinner.
This is a tangible way to show up, offer care, and stand in solidarity. Come as you are. Stay as long as you can—every bit of help matters.

Want to help by purchasing items for the kits? https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3N6SAQ9KD3I9Q?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ggr-subnav-share_YPTRRBNGA1C14GT2AKN3

Today was a special day for our youth. Thrive students offered a beautiful song, and youth, families, and the Mission Committee joined together to pack food for the jail and outreach ministry. Thank you to all who helped!

Day 1 at is in the books!

Yesterday, our students woke up bright and early to head to Kentucky. After settling in, we spent time getting to know some of the 2,000 other students from across the country—and had even more meaningful conversations with friends from our own presbytery.

The day ended with a powerful worship service and a super fun evening glow party!
Grateful for a great start—can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!

After worship today, members of took part in a Families Helping Families scavenger hunt at grocery stores around town—collecting items to restock the Rochester Free Pantry and Fridge. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we cleaned, organized, and filled what had been nearly empty shelves. So proud of our community for showing up with such generous and open hearts!

A few of our kids helped us test out the photo booth for our Eggstravaganza event on April 20th — and it was just too cute not to share! We can’t wait to see all your smiling faces at the event!
