ISAIAH 58: Immigration and the Call to Faithful Mission
The focus is to offer Methodists throughout the conference information about issues & myths swirling around immigration reform. Join us on Saturday morning, July 17, 2010, at LLUMC!
This FREE July event is part of the national Isaiah 58: Immigration and the Call to Faithful Mission and starts at 8:30 a.m. in the Christ Family Life Center. 8:50 am-1:00 pm
No
one community of faith can solve the immigration crisis in our nation.
However, we, as people of faith can unite to educate ourselves and be
the voice for a just reform. Join us in July as we strive to learn how immigration affects ALL OF US.
