Serve with Neighbors
Daily work crews help with economic disaster recovery: greening, feeding and rebuilding. This includes social service projects, providing meals, and rebuilding homes.
Historic Detroit
Stay at one of the historic Detroit United Methodist Churches. Learn about Detroit history and culture.
Lodging and meals included.
Motown Music!
Visit Motown Music Museum.
Pre-trip and daily devotions often include Motown Music theme.
Example: Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" song illustrates how God will welcome us back even when we've been "gone too long."
Coach Bus Transport
We are aiming for at least 30 people to go together. We will take a coach bus for transportation. Reserve your seat today! Maximum 50 - so seating is limited.
If more than 40 sign up, cost will go down - so recruit your friends and family and coworkers to come along!
Mackinac Bridge
Bus leaves from Suamico UMC on Sunday June 22, 2025 at 7 am.
We will drive north and over the Mackinac Bridge on our way to Detroit.
Action + Prayer
We will be the hands and feet of Jesus as we serve with our neighbors.
PLUS we will turn our hearts to Jesus as we pray in preparation for this trip, pray and reflect during the trip, and consider the ways we have been transformed after the trip.
