On Thursday, September 16 UCCNM will have the opportunity to participate in a training program designed to prepare us to welcome and assist a refugee family in the Fox Valley. A successful program will require 6-8 people who can commit to a 2-hour training and provide help as needed over a 6-month period. The training will be conducted by the World Relief organization.

Our church community determined (at Leap into Leadership gathering) that helping refugee families is a key passion that is desired. The meeting on the 16th will be an opportunity to discover just what steps will be involved for us to make a real difference in the lives of refugee families.

Training will be held at the church at 7:00 PM on September 16. Please contact the church office with your willingness to participate in the training.
