Join Our Weekly Southfield ICE Prayer Vigil

The fear many of our neighbors are living under is rising with the rapid expansion of immigration deportation in our area. Many people who came to the US legally, are suddenly finding their status revoked and facing unjust and inhumane treatment. We seek to love our neighbors as ourselves by showing up to pray for a better way to address immigration. Join us Wednesdays at 730am on Corporate Drive at Coral Gables for a 30 minute silent vigil.

 What a wonderful time we enjoyed on Monday, November 24th at 7:00 when we gathered seven congregations to give thanks together as part of our Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. 

More than 30 singers joined our mass choir, the rabbi blew the shofar, and our host and preacher was the Reverend Chris Yaw from St. David's Episcopal Church. 

Those who attended brought a whole lot of canned goods to help stock the shelves at St. David's food pantry. 

Mark your calendars for next year, as we celebrate in unity God's many gifts on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

 It's 2025 and time to re-group, as COVID has certainly taken its toll on Southfield congregations and their leaders. So far, congregational leadership is meeting for regular meals, if you'd like to join us email Fr. Chris Yaw at chris@stdavidssf.org

We are in the process of planning our next outreach activity and update this space as soon as we have news!

Congregations for Coats will not be happening in 2022 due to Covid-19. 

Please stay tuned for further outreach activities.
