Faith and Freedom tour to celebrate BHM, Feb. 16

Are you curious about Detroit’s connection to the Underground Railroad? Would you like to attend a Baptist service or celebrate Black History Month with an educational experience? Do you want to get out into Detroit and experience the city?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then join University Ministry and the African American Studies Program for a Faith in the D event on Feb. 16! This day includes a trip to Second Baptist Church for Sunday service, a tour of the worship space and history of their Underground Railroad history and culminates with lunch in the city.

Lunch and transportation are provided at no cost. All are welcome!

We will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the University Ministry Office (Lower Level of Student Union across from the Book Store). Transportation will be provided to Second Baptist Church. If you are driving yourself, please meet us at 10:15 a.m. at the Second Baptist Church.

Lunch will be provided at a local restaurant (details on this coming soon!) We will return to campus at approximately 2:30 p.m.

For more information or questions, please contact University Minister for Faith Formation Anna Bryson at lawleran@udmercy.edu or visit our office in the Lower Level of the Student Union (across from the Book Store).

RSVP HERE!
