Good morning, Flint.

On Friday, 500 unique coats that turn into sleeping bags were given out at the St. Luke N.E.W.

Life Center on Lawndale Ave to help Flint's homeless people in a new partnership between three Michigan groups. The coats were made by Empowerment Plan through its workforce development program in Detroit — the project was funded by a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and Empowerment Plan is on track to make its 100,000th coat this winter.

People’s Church of Flint held a film screening on November 1 that showed the documentary Where Olive Trees Weep and drew two to three times its normal crowd; the event sparked a guided talk on tough topics like trauma and the conflict in Palestine—local groups added to the discussion. The church said it will host another film night in January that will focus on reproductive issues and abuse by clergy.
