(Sunday March 22 9am Coffee, treats & fellowship | 10am Service)

Loving My Neighbor; Listening  & Responding to the Immigrant Experience is a call to live out our values through action by drawing near to the real stories of immigrant families in our community. We are honored to welcome Guest Speaker Roxana Cardiel of  Northern Arizona Interfaith Council (NAIC). Together, we will reflect on what it truly means to love our neighbor—as a relationship—by listening deeply, honoring dignity, and recognizing the sacred courage woven into the immigrant experience.
