Hello, Friends.
We are not limited to space this year!

- Welcome e-mails and Zoom links are emailed on Fridays.
Since we are on Zoom, you will need to register to get the links emailed to you.
Do not share our Zoom Links. This compromises the security of our meetings.

The Immigrant Welcome Center has resources in 200 languages and can help you in your home language to connect you with the resources you need including immigration, healthcare, legal, etc. As with all our countries, the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service has been impacted by the COVID shutdowns and grace is being given.
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:30-10:30
This week we talked about Mark 14: 66-72. Jesus' predictions about Peter's denial of him comes true. Peter does something he never dreamed he would never do. He weeps. He is contrite.

Be sure to register to continue to meet in the fall.
Wash your hands.
See you Zoom!
