Migrant Welcome

Help needed to welcome incoming Immigrants

Welcome the Stranger/Foreigner/Alien -- this is a theme throughout the Bible. We have an opportunity to do that for immigrant families and individuals who have recently arrived in the Chicago area on buses from Texas. Volunteers and donations are needed immediately.

Join us for an urgent Zoom meeting on Friday (9/9) at 12:00 Noon to get more information about this pressing need.
