The Sande Rose Celebration is an Evening of Appreciation created to honor a life of faithful service, visionary leadership, and lasting impact across gospel music, ministry, media, and community. Set for Friday, March 27, 2026, this celebratory gathering reflects decades of dedication poured into choirs, airwaves, ministries, and moments that have shaped lives. More than a milestone, the evening is a shared expression of gratitude—bringing together family, friends, colleagues, and community to reflect, rejoice, and give thanks for a journey marked by purpose and faithfulness.

​

The celebration will be held at Hope United Methodist Church, located at 26275 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, Michigan 48076.

The Musical Service and Tributes will follow in the sanctuary beginning promptly at 6:45 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
