All women are invited to gather at Common Table, a monthly space for food, faith, and friendship at the church. We’ll share a meal during the first hour, followed by a short devotional and time of prayer. Food is provided, and donations of beverages are welcome. Children are invited to join us for lunch! Childcare will be available during the devotional and prayer time. Come as you are and take a seat at the table.
Let's enjoy each others' food and spend some quality time together. Bring a dish you enjoy if you can, no sign up needed. If the weather permits, we’ll walk to County Park. The 5/29 e-bulletin will confirm whether we’ll be inside or outside.
The Dispute Resolution Center is hosting their annual Unity Walk, which brings public visibility to the inequities between Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. Participants will gain perspective and take action as they walk from the United Way of Ann Arbor (next door to A2CC) or Ypsi High School to Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church. For anyone who wants to connect communities and inspire compassion this walk is for you. All details here.
Families of kids aged 6-11 are invited to join us in the cafe' for the Elementary Kids Meet Up small group following service on Sunday, May 17th. We’ll meet for lunch, a fun group project, and a conversation about faith and life. Please talk to LaVon or Rafael Mejia to learn more.
On the second Sunday of every month, anyone who's new is invited to join us for Meet and Eat after the service. It’s a relaxed time to meet other new folks, get to know our pastors and some long-time members, and learn more about who we are as a church and how you can get involved. This month we'll meet in the conference room that is next to the main office. Kids are welcome, and we'll have some fun activities just for them!
Pastor Dale Dalman and his wife will be visiting our church to encourage us and to help us care for immigrants in our community. He will be sharing with us after the service. Pastor Dale has been on the vanguard of visiting detainees at North Lake Detention Center in Baldwin, Michigan. He regularly visits the facility to care for and encourage some of his former congregants who are detained there and is working to set-up networks of support for the detainees and their families. Read more about his work in this article from Michigan Public Radio: bit.ly/PastorDale. Light food and refreshments will be served.
