Refugee Response Gathering

join this online event May 7

Is your church active in refugee response?
Are you curious how you and your church can connect?
Does someone at your church remember ‘doing this once’, but you know you haven’t been part in a while?

On TUESDAY MAY 7 @ 7:00pm EDT, join Rev. Alan Dicken (Assoc Dir for Immigrant & Refugee Response) at this special Week of Compassion online gathering of Disciples engaged in refugee response ministry.

Discover local needs, and connect with others who care about vulnerable persons. This is a chance to support, re-engage, and stir curiosity about refugee response.

Refugee resettlement engages congregations and individuals who are ready to welcome refugees, preparing to serve even before a crisis is present. Week of Compassion provides support and resources, connections to resettlement experts, and accompanies you as you do the work to be ready when family resettlement is needed.

As the November U.S. election nears, the concerns of refugees and immigrants will continue to make news. Be aware of the needs in your local community (in election season and out), and see how your congregation can be part of faithful welcome and true hospitality.
