This is short notice to invite all who may be interested in joining together to sponsor an Afghan refugee family. If you are interested, please come to Newfane Congregational Church this coming Thursday, May 5, at 3:30 pm. This invitation comes at the behest of a number of members of the community who have expressed interest in co-sponsorship, and a plea from organizers for another team to provide care and support for a family who will be arriving quite soon and are in need of welcoming from a local group. It has been suggested that if the church and community act in concert, we may well have the critical energy to provide the needed support. We'll have folk who are more experienced in the process who will join us to answer our questions. Any questions - email newfanepastor@gmail.com
