Rev. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President, along with Rev. Richie Sánchez, Regional Minister Pacific Southwest Region, have written a pastoral letter in care for Downey Memorial Christian Church. The letter begins, "We write with urgent concern in care for Downey Memorial Christian Church in Los Angeles and the surrounding community.

"On Monday, a civilian ship carrying aid and volunteers was stopped by Israeli forces as it attempted to reach Gaza. This act comes as Gaza continues to face famine and destruction after 20 months of war and decades of blockade. As people of faith, we respond with grief, outrage, and prayer. In this Pentecost season, we call on the Holy Spirit to move in us—empowering us to confront injustice and act with courage and compassion." | | | | Engage these resources from Week of Compassion to mark WORLD REFUGEE DAY June 20. This World Refugee Day, solidarity means honouring refugees not just with words but with actions. It means listening deeply, making space for their stories. It means standing up for their right to seek safety and for solutions to their plight. But above all solidarity means saying, clearly and courageously, that refugees are not alone and that we will not turn our backs. | | | | Sign up to serve as a Business Session Usher at the 2025 General Assembly and get paid up to $140.
