January 28 Immigration Webinar
— Register Below —
From our Bishop Ruben Saenz Jr.:
Our nation stands at a crossroads, with significant proposed changes to immigration policies. These proposals include plans for sweeping large-scale deportation of undocumented immigrants, which could potentially separate families, including those with U.S. citizen children. Proposed expedited removal procedures have raised concerns about due process and access to legal representation. Additionally, proposed changes regarding the issuance of visas will likely impact many in our nation.
Scripture and our Wesleyan tradition affirm the inherent worth of every individual, regardless of legal status. Our faith calls us to welcome the stranger and love our neighbors as ourselves, expressing God's care and love for the vulnerable and displaced through compassion and hospitality.
In light of this, we are pleased to invite you to participate in an important upcoming webinar event:
