Immigrant & Refugee Ministry
Our Circle of Welcome is about to celebrate its first anniversary with our second Afghan family! It’s been a busy year, and we’re not finished yet! In the next few months we’ll be striving for more independence. We anticipate two high school graduations, and older family members are learning to make appointments and complete the many forms required for insurance, finances, taxes, etc. Cultural Orientation continues, and our family is already reaching out to some recently resettled family members, helping them to live and navigate in their new surroundings. Tutoring continues to be on the front burner, and as always, children continue to outgrow their clothing and shoes!
To get a sense of what it takes to resettle a refugee family, click here.
If you’d like to help in any way with this rewarding ministry, please call our Circle of Welcome Coordinator Julene Newland-Pyfer at (206) 949-1126.
February Marriage Enrichment Tool:
Blessing & Gift of Marriage
February is often associated with romance and St. Valentine's Day. What a great opportunity to bless and empower marriages. Your marriage blesses not only your union, but all those around you: your family, your friends, and the community. When we love each other, God lives in us and His love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12)
Christ's visible sign of a tangible love, expressed in your marriage, has the power to bless others. Take time to reflect on the following questions today, repeating the process often.
In Real Life
When we look for the good in our spouses, we will surely find it. Unfortunately, the reverse is easier to observe and always destructive. Realizing this has helped me focus on the gift of our marital love, even in times of conflict. It's helpful to be reminded to always look for the good and seek peace. (Psalm 34:14)
- How has your spouse's love been a gift?
- In what ways can your marriage be an intentional gift to each other?
- How can your martial love be an expansive gift to your children, family, and community?
