The Refugee Crisis - A Mid-Week Lenten Series

Newman Congregational Church, UCC

Posted

There are more that 20 million refugees in the world today – men, women and children forced from their homes by violence and persecution. What was once a humanitarian issue has become a political issue, even in the church.

This year, Newman UCC will be holding weekly dialogues on The Refugee Crisis as our midweek Lenten series. We will gather on Thursday evenings at 6pm for a light meal and then join in dialogues at 6:30 pm.

This series will invite participants to look beyond the headlines and into the real experiences of displaced people to determine what a faith-filled response to this ongoing crisis might look like.

Contact Rev. Timoth Sylvia to obtain the book for this series, The Refugee Crisis.

The dates and chapters for the series are:


March 7The Story We Live In
March 14A People Without a Place
March 21A Global Perspective
March 28A Network of Care
April 4Facing Our History
April 11Looking for Home
April 18Where Do We Go From Here?
