Cry Out is a profound practice of surrender and submission, a transformative act where one relinquishes personal will to engage and embrace the divine will of God. It’s a spiritual journey that leads to breakthroughs, restoration, and the transformation of pain, barriers, and obstacles, paving the way toward one’s divine purpose. Through the exercise of faith, courage, wisdom, and the desire to break through and manifest inner strength, individuals not only discover but also unleash their gifts, talents, and abilities dwelling within to overcome life’s challenges and ascend to the next level of divine purpose.
Cry Out serves as a dynamic pathway for individuals to draw nearer to God, empowering them to be guided by an intense personal yearning to break through and triumph, radiating from this transformative experience. It signifies heartfelt recognition and an unwavering desire to shift the seasons of life, ascending to the next pinnacle of spiritual renewal. Through the dynamic act of “Crying Out,” one reveals a resolute commitment to embrace the higher calling, overcome obstacles, and propel through toward a destiny brimming with purpose and spiritual fulfillment.

Our Jazz Concert series is on the 1st Friday of every month from May to October, we feature different aspects of cultures weather it be through music, food, art or expressions to educate participants on the diversity of all. We present questions to the audience that will challenge them to examine their beliefs and knowledge of their fellow humans, in hopes of them discovering their own bias, that would lead them to address, improve and correct themselves.
Join us for the National Day of Racial Healing on Tuesday, January 16, in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Campus Center. We will be screening the film “Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America” at 10:45 a.m. After the film, stay for a dialogue with Jeffery Robinson, executive director of the Who We Are Project.
In honor of the National Day of Racial Healing, join the Community Foundation of Greater Flint for a free, exclusive screening of “Origin.” “Origin” is a 2023 American biographical film written and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based on the book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson, which describes racism in the United States as an aspect of a caste system.
The messages in “Origin” connect with CFGF’s efforts in Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT), a community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the history and contemporary effects of racism. Communities must heal so they can grow. Our TRHT work is focused on healing and building sustainable progress neighbor by neighbor to transform Flint so all children can have a brighter future.
