Refugee crises continue to erupt due to warfare in many regions of the world including Ukraine and Afghanistan. Today we join with our sibling UU congregations of the Mt. Hood Cluster to share our plate with Lutheran Community Services Northwest Refugee Resettlement Program. For over 40 years, Lutheran Community Services has partnered with communities throughout the Northwest to welcome more than 40,000 refugees and help them transition to their new home in Oregon. The Resettlement Program helps refugees secure homes and jobs, learn English, navigate educational and public systems, and build fulfilling connections.
