On Sunday, March 16th, following worship, at 12:15 PM in the Riverview Room at Riverside UCC, we intend to familiarize people with the declaration, to summarize the on-going and new work of the Riverside UCC congregation to welcome and defend the rights, health and safety of immigrants.

Discussion includes about what it means to be a “sanctuary congregation” and how to be active in the local community work to rapidly
respond to situations of injustice directed at the immigrant community.

Moderator: Vicky Stifter, Pastor
