Organizers say the program will include worship, biblical teaching, prayer, and messages centered on hope, healing, and spiritual renewal.

According to Fresh Start Ministries, the outreach is intended to provide a welcoming environment where individuals and families can receive encouragement and prayer while strengthening connections within the community.

The ministry is encouraging attendees to invite a friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker who may be seeking hope or support.

The event’s theme, “Find One, Bring One,” reflects that goal of personal invitation and community engagement.

The event is free and open to the public and will take place at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheater, 2600 Atwater St. in Detroit.

Tickets will be available through the venue’s box office.

Fresh Start Ministries says the outreach is part of its ongoing mission to promote faith, hope and community throughout Metro Detroit.
