Refugee Sunday at St. John’s Cathedral – April 3
April 19, 2024Welcome Rev. Mark Anderson
April 19, 2024There are more than 65 million people forcibly displaced in the world today, and of this number, more than 21 million are refugees: children, women, and men forced to flee their home countries to escape persecution and violence. Each and every one of these 21 million is a person with a story, with a name, with hopes, and with dreams. Each is a beloved child of God.
Join us on Sunday, April 3, to celebrate Refugee Sunday.
We’ll learn, pray, and act to support refugees and Episcopal Migration Ministries, The Episcopal Church’s ministry of refugee resettlement and welcome.
At each morning service (8 and 10 a.m.) on Sunday, April 3, we will pray for refugees in the world, especially those fleeing Ukraine. After the 10 a.m. service, please join us in Taliaferro Hall as we kick off Outreach Sundays with a presentation from our Refugee Ministry. Speakers include representatives from Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities. Both organizations have long-established programs in refugee resettlement. Please see the program below for details. A lunch cooked by Eman will be served.
