Refugee Week
Churches have been in the forefront of efforts to highlight the desperate situation of refugees and asylum-seekers. Many of them have taken the initiative in forming support groups and other local projects which can channel the energies of willing volunteers, supportive lawyers and many other extremely committed volunteers.
Stories of refugees and displaced peoples are very prevalent in the Bible, giving rise to many opportunities for prayer, reflection and action that can be woven directly into the life of the congregation.
