Sunday Assembly Detroit is a secular congregation that meets to hear great talks and generally celebrate the wonder of life. It’s a service for anyone who wants to live better, help often, and wonder more.This free event is in beautiful Farmington Hills. We'll listening to a talk then enjoying a meal during the event.
**Speaker**
We don't have clergy, instead we have local community leaders and thinkers. For this month we are having Rob talk about his journey from Evangelical to Exvangelical.
Here is a taste of what he'll talk about this month:
Rob was raised in a small town and proud to be a Rush Limbaugh, far-right evangelical Republican. His upbringing included Christian elementary school, fundamental evangelical church/youth group, and post-high school education at a Christian college. How did someone like this become a secular humanist in his mid-40s? This talk gives his story.

We also welcome everyone along the secular/religious spectrum. Whatever your degree of religion, spirituality, or utter lack thereof you are welcome here. As an organization, we don't do religious, spiritual, or supernatural things, but we don't dwell on that -- rather we focus on Humanism and its associated values.
**Little Free Library**
If all of that doesn't bring you in, then maybe your love of reading will. We have a running little free library at our assemblies so we encourage you to bring a book to exchange or to take a book to enjoy.
**We can't wait to see you!**
If you're looking for an inviting and positive community, you've come to the right place. We look forward to getting to know you if you're new and welcoming you back home if you've been before.
