Ethic of Embrace: Faithful Responses to Immigration
Sunday, October 25 and November 1; 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall
This fall, Covenant welcomes two thoughtful Christian voices to help us understand immigration through the lens of faith. Together, we’ll move beyond headlines to listen to scripture, learn from immigrant neighbors, and consider how our faith shapes the way we welcome and respond to one another. Join us for these important conversations and invite friends and neighbors from across the Charlotte community.
