CARING FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

 

Many of us are heartbroken to hear how our neighbors are being followed and detained, and are seeking how to help. Wendy Gist wrote a helpful list of suggestions to help especially those who are afraid to go to the grocery store or even church. Feel free to download the file and share with your church. And remember, there are other resources for churches in the "Immigration Resources"

section below.



Click here for the list.

FIRST AMENDMENT AUDITORS

There are people going to local churches and trying to provoke a response from church members in order to produce and post videos, for financial gain. Though a nuisance, they are careful to stay within the laws protecting free speech. The common advice is to not engage with them, but one insurance agent suggests a clever way to resist them. Click HERE for

a link to the article.
