Manchester Church of the Brethren<\/a> in North Manchester, Ind., and the band Friends with the Weather<\/a> are hosting another Sing Me Home gathering of music, spirituality, and social justice on the theme \u201cRooted and Rising.\u201d Together, we\u2019ll honor the people, stories, songs, and traditions that have shaped us while exploring how our roots give us courage to grow, change, and rise into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sing Me Home<\/a> is a ministry now in its sixth year, and all are invited to this free community event on Sept. 26-27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
