Refugee & Immigration Ministries

World Refugee Day

Each year, World Refugee Day is celebrated on June 20th. Congregations are encouraged to celebrate it on the Sunday closest to June 20th. Resources for each year’s celebration will be posted here a couple of months before June 20th.

Congregations that have resettled refugees in the past are encouraged to celebrate that ministry and the accomplishments of the refugees they have resettled. Congregations are also encouraged to reflect on all the thousands of refugees stuck in refugee camps around the world who are awaiting an opportunity for resettlement and a chance to begin their lives again.
