On Saturday morning, 18 gathered for a men’s breakfast, complete with a full spread cooked up by member Akeem Washington. Pastor Corey led a devotional thought on the epidemic of loneliness among American men and got feedback on how we can minister to each other.
On Sunday, October 2, World Communion Sunday, we formally celebrated the safe arrival of Xaviere and Gabriella, reunited with their family as refugees after almost 10 years. We continue to partner with the RISE (Refugee Integration & Support Effort) program of Jewish Family Services, who were instrumental in helping get the entire family here. We thank Sophie Marie Namugenyi, the Chief Program Officer of Jewish Family Services, for attending and offering remarks. Please keep the family in your prayers as they work to get the girls in school. They also remain in need of a larger vehicle that can transport their entire family; please contact Pastor Corey or Marcia Williamson if you know of opportunities. To hear more about the Mulemas journey and the refugee program in the United States, check out the NPR story in which they were featured last year: https://n.pr/3SRzhEG
