Sponsor a Refugee Family
Right now, there are 1,600 Afghan refugee families stranded in Pakistan, desperately awaiting resettlement. These families cannot return to Afghanistan because they bravely assisted U.S. troops during the war. However, with shifting U.S. refugee policies, their future is uncertain. In the absence of government support, organizations have turned to the Church to stand in the gap. We have an opportunity to help a family resettle in Philadelphia. We know this is a big commitment, which is why the Diaconate is forming a committee to lead this effort. If you’re interested in learning more, a Diaconate member would love to chat with you at the welcome table in the back after the service or you’re welcome to read the details provided on our form and sign up here.

Summer Connections
Spring has just arrived, but we’re already looking forward to summer! Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal activities slows down due to travel and vacations. To keep the community spirit alive during this time, we’re seeking volunteers to organize “summer connection” events that foster community and connection while our Community Groups are on pause. These events can be one-time gatherings or regular meetups—whatever works best for you as a volunteer! You don’t have to do it alone—feel free to invite your Community Group to host one together! The events will run from June through the end of August. Some event ideas might include: a picnic or sports day at Clark Park, a hike on the Wissahickon trail, a movie night at someone’s place, a game night, a worship night, a book club, and more! The possibilities are endless. If you have an idea in mind, we’d love to hear it! Please sign up here to host a “summer connection” event!
