“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” –Simone Weil

Join us Wednesday, June 17th, 6:00-7:00 pm ET, for an online ecumenical worship service in observance of World Refugee Day. With the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program frozen since January 2025 and resettled refugees facing an onslaught of diminishing protections and expanding threats, it is more important than ever to gather in lament, solidarity, and celebration of the right to seek refuge. With contributions from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Church of the Brethren, Presbyterian Church (USA), Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the United Church of Christ, we will worship through prayer, art, music, and reflections from pastors with their own stories of migration. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35)
