It’s often a wildlife wonderland around VINA and Brighton First United Methodist Church! Right here on Grand River, just a short stroll from downtown, we’ve had everything from deer families and robins nesting to hawks, eagles, turtles…and now sandhill cranes! Keep an eye out for our wild visitors next time you swing by! #VINAVisitors
