US-Mexico Border Trip

On Sunday April 30 at 4pm in The Gathering Place, come join Don and Mary Ann for some light snacks and beverages as we share slides of our trip to the US-Mexico border area. During two days in March, we accompanied Randy Mayer, pastor of a UCC church in Sahuarita Arizona and experienced first-hand the border wall, the towns which straddle both sides of it, an ecumenical mission which serves migrants seeking asylum, and the work of the Samaritans who provide food and water to immigrants crossing into the US through the desert.

We were inspired by all that we saw and heard from those who, in spite of political divisions, strong opinions and a very complex and messy immigration system, simply save lives. We’d love to share our pictures and stories with you.
