An evening of courageous conversation and exploration of the complex and timely topics of immigration, migration, and refugees and what we are called to do as followers of Jesus.
Through open and respectful conversation, we aim to explore the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities that these issues present to individuals, communities, and the church.
Interested in knowing more about the new PWC ministry site in Riverside? Join Pastor Yvi and Pastor Jess on Sunday, July 28 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm in Room 251. During this time, they’ll share a vision for what this might be like, answer questions, and invite those interested to consider how they might be a part of inviting new and different people into full life in Jesus Christ through this new ministry in Riverside!
