About This Event: Learn what you can do to turn respect into action
Respect for immigrants brings us together. Join people of many faiths to affirm the dignity of our immigrant neighbors – welcoming, protecting, and standing with them. Through song, word, learning, and witness, we turn respect into action.
This gathering will bring together voices from across our interfaith community for an afternoon of music, prayer, and reflection. We will hear from speakers who work alongside immigrant and refugee communities every day, and we will leave with a deeper sense of what it means – and what it costs – to be a people of welcome.
Program
The event will include:
- Music and song from across our faith traditions

Full program details will be posted as the event approaches.
