God has stirred us up at St. Paul’s to love our neighbors, and for years we’ve had a special ministry to love our neighbor immigrants and migrant workers. Our lives in Cary are supported by our immigrant neighbors, and now, more than ever, they need our understanding of their situation and spirited support. This October St. Paul’s is offering a series of formation programs to help us understand our immigrant neighbors, what they face, how God is with them in a special way, and what we can do to support them. Come to grow in active love of neighbor.
- Sunday Oct 12, Isaac Villegas, pastor and author of “Migrant God,” will preach at the two later services and offer the Sunday Forum.
- Monday Oct 13, 6:30-7:30 p.m.: Siembra ICE Verification Training at St. Pauls. This verifier training enables community members to verify if ICE is undertaking a raid or other local action so that accurate real-time information (vs. rumors) can be communicated to neighbors in our community who may feel vulnerable to ICE action. This helps people in these communities go about their daily lives, going to work, taking their children to school, going to church. Please register in advance here.
- Sunday Oct 19: Sunday Forum with immigration lawyers Meghan Deutsch Blanco and Alice Glover. Come to learn about what life is like now for those seeking to regularize their status and become citizens.
