There has been some interest in our community sponsoring an Afghan refugee family through Lutheran Social Service of the Southwest/Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Resettlement. We have done this in the past but it has been sometime.
Dottie (Ohe) Knox has agreed to coordinate these efforts and look into what would be required of us. From last Sunday alone two folks in attendance volunteered to help. We have reached out to Missio Dei and they are willing to partner with us. We are also reaching out to the Tempe Mosque to see if there is any interest on their part.
If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact the church office (info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543).
