Partnering with RefugeeConnect: Fall Family Fun Day & More Opportunities!

On October 26th, we will have an opportunity to participate in RefugeeConnect’s Family Fall Fun Day.  This will be a great way to spend time with refugee families living in the Greater Cincinnati area as they learn about life on the farm and participate in fun Fall activities.  If you or your family would like to go, please sign up by clicking on the link below so that RefugeeConnect knows that you are coming.  Also let our point person, Christine Mitchell, know that you are coming so that she can meet you at the farm that morning.  You can email her at christine@missioncincinnati.org. 

Truly, we are very excited about this opportunity, as well as other opportunities that will be coming up in November and December when we’ll officially partner with RefugeeConnect as our Mission Partner for the season.  So, stay tuned.   

This will include Kristin Burgoyne, their director, coming to speak to us on November 24th, both in service and after service.  She will tell us all about how they provide connections between various refugee organizations in the region  and how they connect refugees to needed resources, including winter coats, help with becoming U.S. citizens, help with applying to college, and more.  During this season, we’ll also have an opportunity to contribute funds to their work through the giving of our loose offerings during the Offertory on Sunday mornings.  Additionally, we’ll have another opportunity to spend time with refugee families at the Zoo’s Festival of Lights (probably in early January).

 So do come to the Family Fall Fun Day, and if in the meantime, you are interested in hearing more about RefugeeConnect or would like to participate in a group dedicated to expanding our compassionate outreach to refugees in the region, reach out to Rev. Kristen at kristen@missioncincinnati.org.
