Detroit

I am planning to share with you some of my personal, spiritual, and theological reflections of our time here in Detroit at the ELCA Youth Gathering. But that will have to wait a few days at least so I allow things to percolate a bit more. For now, here are some pictures for you to see.  Some have already been shared on our Facebook page.

Opening worship at Ford Field

Service time with LutherHANDS in Dearborn

A quick visit to the Heidelberg Project

There is a man who lives across the street from the Heidelberg Project. 

His name is John. Prepare to hear more about John in an upcoming sermon sometime!

took some time to meet and talk with us in Cobo Hall on Thursday
