Plan Your Route

• Here’s a map of the buildings we are using downtown Kalamazoo
• Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone
• Kalamazoo can be a maze of one-way (and closed) streets:  be aware as you drive and plan for delays.
• West Lovell is closed to traffic for construction. (the sidewalk is open to walk from parking garages)
• Shuttle Information between hotels and St. Luke’s
• Unloading is available at St. Luke’s and the workshop churches, but parking is available only in parking garages.  There are 3 that are 3-4 blocks from the church
