Today’s episode is the first in a series of weekly Advent reflections from EMM supporters and friends. Our reflection author Rushad Thomas is a policy advisor in The Episcopal Church’s Washington, D.C.-based Office of Government Relations.

We invite you to join us each week during Advent for reflection and prayer. Reflections are also available on the EMM website blog – www.episcopalmigrationministries.org/blog.

Join us on December 13 from 7-8PM Eastern for a virtual Advent Vigil, available by Zoom webinar or Facebook live. Register for the Zoom webinar at bit.ly/emmvigil.

Follow us on FB, Twitter, and Instagram where we are emmrefugees.

In this season of giving we invite you to make a gift to support the refugee and immigration ministries of The Episcopal Church through the work of Episcopal Migration Ministries.. Visit episcopalmigrationministries.org/give or text HOMETOWN to 91999. We also invite you to get your very own EMM swag at bit.ly/weareemm. We have a variety of EMM branded shirts to help you proclaim loudly that you welcome our newest neighbors.
