Church and Society Offers "Hospitality in Hard Times" Service
We invite you to join us in this in-person prayerful service of remembrance, lament, and hope, offering space to honor the lives impacted by migration and asylum policies.
In a moment marked by uncertainty, displacement, and deep moral testing, we gather to practice faithful hospitality. Hospitality in Hard Times is a prayerful service of remembrance, lament, and hope. We offer this space to honor the lives impacted by migration and asylum policies, to grieve the harm done, and to renew our collective commitment to justice, compassion, and welcome.
This is an in-person event and will not be live-streamed.
Join us for this sacred pause, held in partnership with the Asylum and Detention Working Group of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition. Together, we will bear witness, ground ourselves spiritually, and remember that hope is both a gift and a responsibility in hard times.
All are welcome.
