Happy New Year from Detroit Villages...a few weeks belated! Although there is only one week left of the month, there is still a lot going on! Here's what's coming up in this next week: Film night at Jenie Wylie House on Tuesday, Detroit Covenant Circle at Jeanie Wylie on Wednesday night, Ailanthus House needs your help moving all weekend, and there will be a Detroit Villages Community Celebration on Saturday night at Cass Community United Methodist. One of our goals (I know, it's desperately needed!) is to make the details for all these events available much sooner. I promise we'll do better for February. See the website for full descriptions of the upcoming events. Here's a brief desciption for this week's events:

Join us this month as we continue our exploration together about biblical covenants. These gathering are for people living in Detroit with an interest in intentional community and incarnational ministry. We are in the process of exploring what our covenant with one another should look like and how we can support one another better.
Ailanthus House Moving Weekend
Friday January 29th- Sunday January 31...All day probably
We're relocating from the Hamtramck area, clear across the city to Brightmoor. We need your back, automobile, time or whatever else you have to share to help us make this move a little easier. We have to be out of our current house by the end of this weekend and there will be tons of misc things to do. Call Jeremy if you can help. 313.576.7818 Please RSVP so we know how to plan. thanks!
January Community Gathering
Cass Community United Methodist Church (upstairs)
3901 Cass Avenue, Detroit, MI (Cass and Selden)
This month will take the format of a roudtable discussion. We anticipate this conversation to set the tone for the next year, so its really important that you come out and share your thoughts! We'll be discussing how we relate to God, to one another, and to our neighbors (and the wider world). We'll talk about our current practices and also the things that we know are important, but we don't do so well. We'll be exploring this not as isolated individuals, but in the context of living life together. The themes and practices that seem most essential will likely become topics to explore more in depth at future Community Celebrations.
