I know I’m looking forward to this. I’ll try and get back to this post and give more details. Its all day and its free, what more do you need to know? A little bit of what the UPrising and Tribe of Judah are up to:
We are trekking around the UP, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin with a one-day FREE music festival with FREE food and games and fellowship.

Saturday September 18 9am-Noon Human Trafficking Outreach – This is an event to make the city of Grand Rapids aware of modern slavery. Its an active attempt to get the word out by going around the city that morning in teams to hang posters. Teams will meet at Take Hold at 9am where you will be greeted with fair trade coffee and muffins along with worship from our own Micah Hill. Here is the facebook event for more details and to RSVP.
Wednesday September 22 is the opening day of ArtPrize! Take Hold Church is a venue which means we will be open for the duration of the event which is two weeks long. We need many many volunteers just to dedicate their time to watch over the space while it is open. Opening day is 6pm-10pm, Mon-Thur 5pm-8pm, Fri-Sat noon-10pm, Sun noon-6pm. There will be a volunteer sign up sheet at Take Hold and I’ll try to get something going online. Its going to be a blast with a lot of people coming in and out.
Friday October 1 – Sunday October 3 Unified Underground in Davidsonville, MD – Last year five of us ventured out to Maryland to attend Unified Underground which is a weekend full of speakers/seminars, bands, and good old time fellowship. We are making the trek again and would like for 20 of us to go together! Money is due by this Sunday [report to Shane] to make the discount otherwise you can purchase your own ticket online at the website linked above. We will be having a couple vehicles going and have a few hotel rooms reserved already. We want to work with you on the travel accommodations because we want you just to experience the weekend. We grew leaps and bounds together as a group last year and only want more people to have that opportunity. Its truly the highlight trip of my year! Check the website for schedule of events, bands and speakers.
