Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support of our immigration justice ministries. This is one of the ways we advocate for inclusion, equity, and justice for all immigrants living in the United States, regardless of their immigration status. Our hearts have been touched by the friendships we have made through our work for undocumented people. We are truly blessed and promise to continue working towards positive change.

Our next support meeting and legal clinic is scheduled for February 1st at 1:00 PM in the Multipurpose Room. We are also providing a Zoom link for those who prefer to attend via Zoom. All are invited. Please contact Pastor Ken about our important and quiet work.

Countering Federal Violence With Neighborly Love | United Methodist News


Just two blocks from where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot Renee Nicole Good, Park Avenue United Methodist Church in Minneapolis opened its doors last Sunday to give worshippers space to grieve and restore their faith in the face of violence. United Methodists across the United States joined with thousands of other people of faith and goodwill in prayer vigils and peaceful protests after federal agents opened fire in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon. People braved ice and snow to stand up for their immigrant neighbors and speak out against what they see as increasing hostility towards a large part of the U.S. population. "We all know here in the Upper Midwest that the way you care for ice is that you throw a little salt on it. So, I invite you to go into the world and be salt and light,” said Bishop Lanette Plambeck. "I invite you to love and be a good neighbor."
