SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT🔦
As a former power engineer in Ukraine, Iryna arrived in the U.S. with years of experience, but no clear path back into her field. After connecting with the Newcomer Career Navigation Program at World Relief, she found a whole new path she never expected.
Yesterday we partnered with BECU to hold a Teen Finance Fair for 50 of our refugee youth!
They played games, ate lunch & snacks, created their own company & product, and did a finance simulation. Thank you BECU for your partnership to make this incredible event happen!
VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT📣
Meet Denise, a beloved volunteer who has recently been helping with food distribution! Her heart for serving our community is evident, and as she serves, our refugee community feels seen and loved.
As we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice, remember that being present with God and with one another is a form of action. Sit with God today. Share in his grief over the brokenness that our sin brings to his creation — that it brought to his own son, Jesus.
Join us for our Garden of Hope Women’s Tea 💐💐💐 It will be a beautiful morning supporting women and youth programs. Enjoy cultural dance performances, a keynote from former refugee, flower crown making, a silent auction, and sweet treats.
