The Edge Urban Church

TODAY!!! We invite you to come and see what our S.T.E.A.M. students have been working on this summer. It's really been amazing to see the growth and share many smiles and laughter along the way.

2. There are many forms of expression when it comes to creative art, and dance is one of them. Mr. Mark and Miss Ashton are helping the students with creating their own dance.

3. Music and Instruments with Miss Ashton. There was much joy that echoed through these students as they learned to create different musical instruments but also learned that their voice is an instrument as well.

4. Making Banjos and singing our hearts out

5. Team Building! These were super fun team building games for our students and let’s just say there was a ton of laughter happening 🤣

The students also had to figure out ways to help one another in a variety of ways with different situations. Here they are having fun with Twister

6. Human Hungry Hippo!!!!!

Urban Experience is designed for pastors, ministry leaders, and influencers to learn how to build reconciling and restorative ministries through experiential learning opportunities that cross racial, social, and historical boundaries.

This Saturday come Experience a dynamic cultural encounter in the heart of Grand Rapids, MI, Engage in interactive workshops and cross cultural group discussions, and Expand your Kingdom impact as we learn together how to better love our neighbor.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yall! Just got back from dinner with Tisa. My thanks are full. My belly's full. My heart's full.

Grateful to the max and I'm cheesing 😁
But can't let food for the soul go to waist
So trying to share you a plate
Then turn your praise into weights
Lift up the Savior
If you savor that flavor
then call me waiter
Cuz I'm just glad to serve Him

HUGE THANKS to our brother Joshua for organizing another successful landscaping day!!! 20 volunteers helped clean up the back parking lot and 8 of them were youth. 4 of our neighborhood friends competed to see who could fill up a bag of trash the fastest:) Thank you everyone who was involved, we've couldn't have accomplished so much so quickly without you!

Yall we seeing fruit from the prayer walks we did this summer 🍇🙌 A man "R" who had been spiraling in drugs and other destructive behaviors for many years after losing his wife decided to rededicate his life to Christ after we prayed & prophesied over him. He brought his brother (who doesn't speak English) to Da Kingdom Block Party in August to hear the Good News. Today, I saw his brother outside and asked with my broken Spanish if he could help with the landscaping clean up. He immediately got his young son and influenced 4 other men to come help. All of the men were smiling and thanking us in Spanish, grateful to help because of the change they've seen in R's life. You see, real transformation is messy, it inevitably spills out onto other people's lives spiritually & physically, causing their environment to start to look different.
