Join us as we visit:

Historic Trinity Lutheran - Trinity Lutheran Church congregation was founded in 1850 following a large influx of German immigrants who settled along the Gratiot corridor. In 1931, the present architecturally excellent church facility was built with only the finest materials and craftsmanship. Christmas time at Historic Trinity is like no other: 260+ Creches from around the world, 90+ Nutcrackers on display in the Dau Library, a multitude of Angels and many beautifully decorated Christmas trees. In the Sanctuary you will find their oldest and largest hand painted Nativity. This Nativity has adorned our Sanctuary since the late 1800’s. You also won’t be able to miss their 22 foot Christmas tree.

Hudson Café (included lunch) - Founded in 2011, this Café was born in the heart of Detroit just before the city’s much-publicized revival began. Located on Woodward Ave. between Grand River and State St., our name is a nod to the iconic Hudson’s department store, which was located directly across the street from us and Detroit’s heyday as a bustling, cosmopolitan city.

Most Holy Redeemer Church- Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church is a historic and beautiful Catholic parish in the heart of Southwest Detroit, founded in 1880 and known for its impressive Roman basilica-style church building dating from the early 1920s. Originally serving Irish and German immigrants, the parish now reflects the rich cultural diversity of the local community—especially in Detroit’s Mexicantown.

Shatila (included dessert) - Founded in 1979 by Riad Shatila, bakers labor lovingly as did old world artisans thousands of years ago in the Middle East. Tissue-thin pastry swabbed with rich, pure butter, enfolds crunchy fresh nuts and a sweet sugar syrup. Authentic, old world baking in modern, high volume ovens.

Important information from Oakland County Sheriff's Office

⚠️ E-BIKES & ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES: KNOW THE LAW. RIDE SAFE.

We have already responded to very serious crashes involving young people operating e-bikes and electric motorcycles, and we want parents and riders to understand the risks.

Not every electric bike is legally considered an e-bike. Depending on its speed, power and design, it may be classified as an electric motorcycle, which comes with different requirements for where it can be ridden, licensing, registration and insurance.

Parents, please have a conversation with your children about safe and responsible riding. Know what they are riding, make sure they are wearing a helmet and understand where they can legally operate it.

Take a few minutes to review the attached infographic. Know the law before you ride.

🚲 Wear a helmet.
⚡ Ride responsibly.
👀 Stay alert and visible.
🚦 Obey traffic laws.
🛑 Ride only where permitted.

Ride smart. Ride legal. Stay safe.
