1) Attention 7th Graders: Would you like to take a Religious Journey around the worlds?
We are looking for six – 7th graders who are open to meet students from the
metro Detroit area and experience diversity. You will learn about culture, religion and faith traditions that unify us to become hopeful, loving human beings. It is an amazing experience that will stay with you for a long time.
