A group called IMIrJ (Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice) has been successful in forming a cohort of faith communities in the Portland area to come together to learn about the issues and discern how their congregations might be able to work together to respond to the needs of our immigrant community. Sanctuary is so much more than a physical space for someone to go.
Some of the churches in Washington County are wondering if a similar cohort might be formed out here on the West side. To explore this idea more fully, we have been invited to attend a meeting at First Congregational UCC in Hillsboro on May 10th. If you're you'd like to attend please contact
