The two refugee families supported by the congregation arrived in Lancaster this month. Bilemanga Bilombele and her children arrived at the beginning of the month, and have been reunited with Mlasi Generina, Bilemanga’s sister, and her four children. The Welcome Team is busy helping the families become acquainted with the area and taking them to care appointments.

We are also collecting cards of welcome for the families. If you’d like to give them a card, please bring them to the church and place them in the basket in the Caring Cart.

Our refugee family is arriving in Lancaster on Tuesday, May 31st!

The mother and her two sons, 9 and 17 years old, are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The mother’s sister, and her 4 children, will arrive later this summer.

We are asking for the following donations for the family:

• Toothbrush holder
• Soap dish
• Small folding stool
• Colorful plants and/or flowers for the porch
• Soccer ball

Please return all donations by this Sunday, May 29th, and we thank you for your kind donations!
