Make A Holiday Card, A Gift of Hope
Thousands of asylum seekers are held in three detention centers in Arizona. On November 17 and 24th after service, we invite you to make holiday cards for them in the sanctuary. All materials will be provided, as officials have rules about what can come into the detention centers. Your card will likely be the only gift from outside that the person receives this season, and will likely be displayed and shared among those inside.
