✨ About the Event

This year’s Welcome Brunch takes place in a season marked by uncertainty and challenge. “Faithful Through the Storm” invites us to pause and reflect on how God has remained faithful to the mission of welcoming the stranger, even in difficult times.

It is a reminder that this work has never been easy, yet it has always been sustained by faith, community, and a shared commitment to walk alongside newcomer families.

​

🌎 What to Expect

During this special morning, we will gather to:

• Reflect on the realities facing migrant and refugee families today

• Give thanks for God’s faithfulness through the work of The Welcome Network

• Find unity and strength for what lies ahead

• Support programs that serve newcomer families throughout the year

​

❤️ Why It Matters

The Welcome Brunch is The Welcome Network’s primary annual fundraising event. The resources raised play a vital role in sustaining our Welcome Homes, legal services, and community programs.

Your presence and support help ensure that families seeking safety and stability are met with dignity, care, and hope.
