After breaking ground on two Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
meetinghouses in June 2006, construction of the second is complete. The congregation will celebrate with a public open house Sept. 20-21. It is located at 2600 14th St. at I-75 in North Corktown.
The first chapel, dubbed the Detroit River Chapel, is located at 4200 Conner Street and opened in June.
Approximately 100 people worship at the North Corktown meetinghouse; about half are Spanish-speaking. The services are given in two languages with translation available via headphones provided by the church.
The public open house runs from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20 and from 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21. The North Corktown congregation joined with other Metro Detroit Mormons on Sept. 13 for a Clark Park clean-up to demonstrate their commitment to the surrounding community.
