Karen Family Day

We deeply love and cherish our Karen speaking immigrants to this "New World"   Our relationship began by sponsoring a family which in 4 years time grew into a community.  They come to us from numerous Thailand refugee camps scattered along their western border.  All would quickly return to their beloved homeland of Burma but that is impossible due to a continuing 60 year civil war between the Burmese military powers and the many ethnic minorities.   To have them accept us and return their love toward us is our great joy as English people.   They certainly have revitalized our congregation and given meaning to Christ's challenge to welcome the stranger and alien among you.
