God Still Cares in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
How can we help the people of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan?
UP CityServe demonstrates the love of Jesus Christ by bringing churches, healthcare professionals, and community partners together caring for the physical, mental, spiritual tangible needs of Upper Peninsula residents by sharing hope through compassionate action.
In 2020 the COVID epidemic created a crisis with people confined to their hotel rooms or home with limited ability to get food and supplies. UP CityServe was born out of the need to help those less fortunate in our society. This organization mobilized the churches and community organizations to make and bring meals to reach those who were sheltered in place.
The focus for this year’s event on August 1 at Mattson Lower Harbor Park in Marquette is a healthcare event called UP CityServe Health Fair.
The UP CityServe Health Fair is a community outreach initiative organized by UP CityServe to address the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of individuals and families across the Upper Peninsula. This large-scale event brings together healthcare professionals, churches, local organizations, and volunteers to provide free health education, preventative care, and screenings for common diseases. Attendees will have access to resources that promote healthier living, including guidance on nutrition, healthy eating, and organic gardening. The fair will also distribute essential items such as over-the-counter medicines, basic medical supplies, and wellness resources at no cost to participants. By combining practical healthcare services with compassionate community support, the UP CityServe Health Fair seeks to empower residents to take proactive steps toward healthier lives while ensuring that vital resources are accessible to everyone in the community.
Want to help?
We need more Christian churches willing to partner with us to share the good news of Jesus Christ. This year’s U.P. CityServe is here to reach more children and families and to serve their medical needs. When you arrive at the Lower Harbor you will be able to locate the Childrens Ministries Tents and check your child in for an afternoon of fun, cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, crafts, face painting, Movement Worship Zone, and S.O.F Church Puppet Ministries. Your children are invited to join us for this life changing Jesus moment. There will be door prizes for the children. Be sure to register your children early so we of time so we can get them entered for the BIG DOOR PRIZE. This helps us plan accordingly. We also need volunteers for the children’s Ministries Zone.
