Nearby: Chelsea, MIChelsea Community Church Presents A PIANO BAR CELEBRATION …honoring Piano Bar legend Jerry Scott Free & Open to the Public Sunday, November 15, 1pm at St. Peter’s Chelsea (346 W. 20th St. btw. 8th & 9th Aves.) For more info, click here BY SCOTT STIFFLER | Drawing its strength from the diverse backgrounds and traditions of its congregants, Chelsea Community Church has been a beacon for people of all faiths—and of uncertain faith—since its founding in 1975. The lay-led, non-denominal Christian congregation meets on Sundays at 1pm, at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Chelsea. Familiarly known as St. Peter’s Chelsea, the 1838-consecrated church (whose iconic bell tower was installed in 1888) sits on land donated by Clement Clarke Moore. His 1823-penned poem A Visit From St. Nicholas is known for, among other things, popularizing the notion of Santa’s jolly demeanor and giving his eight reindeer the names we’ve come to know them by.

Originally conceived as a way to foster socialization among West Chelsea residents no longer required to maintain a six-foot distance from one another, 2022’s very first Longest Table gave its 500+ participants permission to lean into that request to pass the salt. “In the pandemic, we were all [sheltering] in one place much longer than we’d ever been before,” noted Longest Table co-creator Maryam Banikarim, in our October 24, 2022 report.

Making its debut in the NYC market just in time to help you de-clutter for the holidays, Starmoire offers residents of the five boroughs off-site, on-demand wardrobe storage, a “digital closet” that catalogs every item, and the chance to turn a profit, via “full-service resale.” Chelsea Community News recently exchanged emails with Starmoire co-founder and CEO Katie Palencsar, yielding the below Q&A. Scott Stiffler, for Chelsea Community News (CCNews): What is the origin story of Starmoire? How, why, who? Katie Palencsar, Starmoire Co-Founder & CEO (Katie): My co-founder Ruth and I were at a banking conference in Chicago, about to speak on a panel. We got to talking about having a full closet and nothing to wear.

Nearby: Flint, MIFLINT, Michigan — Well of Hope, led by President Chia C. Morgan, will host the 18th Annual Blessed to Be a Blessing Thanksgiving Dinner on Tuesday, November 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. at St. Michael’s Conference Center, 609 E. 5th Ave. Catholic Charities has partnered on the event since its fourth year. Organizers say what began as a dream to care for local families in times of crisis has grown into a tradition of unity and support for Flint. “When I planned the inaugural Blessed to Be a Blessing eighteen years ago, it was born from a dream for the city that raised me, guided by a simple question: What do families in Flint need most right now? Back then, the answer was a hot meal and a safe, warm space to connect,” said Morgan. This year’s effort also extends into the home. With Pentecostal Temple Apostolic Church and Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle, Well of Hope is hosting a washer and dryer giveaway for Flint families.

Nearby: Flint, MIFLINT, Michigan — Kristen Reynolds grew up hearing her father recall stories about how, since she learned to talk, she had a mouthful to say. She calls herself a “natural-born yapper” and jokes that her parents aren’t surprised she is now an award-winning podcaster. Her podcast, A Little Bit A Lot, won three categories, including Best Solo Host and Podcaster of the Year, in the 2026 Black Podcasting Awards. She was also named a 2026 Signal Awards finalist in the Solopreneur Podcast category. Reynolds combines stories of her personal upbringing with pop culture, mental health, adulting, and humor to create an inclusive virtual community that emphasizes relatability and safe spaces. Behind the microphone, she stays true to herself. Moving from Flint to Flushing as a child after her parents divorced made her feel even more quirky and different from her peers. She grew up searching for a group where she felt seen.

Nearby: Flint, MIEditor’s Note: The Flint City Council Monthly Wrap Up! is a new series spearheaded by Jalen Garrison. This series serves as a guide to make council meetings journalistically sound, accessible, and engaging. FLINT, Michigan — Welcome to the Flint City Council Monthly Wrap-Up! This is a summary of the most important debates, resolutions, and decisions from October city council meetings, along with a look at what’s coming up in November. Flint City Council made the most of its time this month, taking significant political action by passing ordinances, blocking funding, and more that we’ll cover. This was likely due in large part to the Nov. 3 election. Flint City Council was guaranteed to see at least 4 wards gain new representation, which would incentivize council members to exercise their power as much as possible prior to Election Day. 1st Ward Councilman Leon El-Alamin’s trial postponed for a fourth time Due to a scheduling conflict, 1st Ward Councilman El-Alamin will wait until Nov.

He is the author of Unstuck: Becoming the Person You’re Meant to Be, available on Amazon. Have an idea for an essay or opinion piece you’d like to write for Flintside? Email [email protected]. FLINT, Michigan — A while back, a school came to me with a problem they kept seeing. It was the same kind of young man, over and over. He wasn’t in trouble. He wasn’t a “bad kid.” He just wasn’t moving. He didn’t want to work. He didn’t want to achieve much of anything. He was living in his parents’ basement, on his phone, while life went on without him. They asked me to build a program for those young men. I said yes. The longer I sat with that request, the more I realized it wasn’t really a school problem. It’s a problem a lot of families in this area are living with right now.
