As recently announced, we have some new friends living at the church right now. Our area has had over a thousand asylum seekers arriving, many in family units. Hundreds of them have had no housing. At the request of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, Rev. Dr. Kelle Brown and the Immigration Ministry Team agreed to accept three families for a few months at the church. They are staying in our second floor classrooms. (Read online article.)

At the moment we could use some more volunteers to support the families. We are reaching out to you to support our efforts. Some possible tasks would be accompanying/driving them to appointments, teaching how to ride the bus, taking turns doing a weekly shopping run, helping with Spanish interpretation, tutoring the children, and more as things arise.

If you are able to help in any of these or other areas, please let Carol Mooney or Janet Gwilym know.
