✨ About the Event
The 2026 Welcome Brunch took place during a season marked by uncertainty and challenge. Under the theme “Faithful Through the Storm,” we gathered to reflect on how God has remained faithful to the mission of welcoming the stranger, even in difficult times. It was a meaningful time of connection, reflection, and shared commitment to continue walking alongside newcomer families.
