Friendship and Hospitality
Conversation partners meet about an hour every two weeks so that the international friend
can practice conversational English or ask questions about American culture. Worship
buddies sit with an international during the 11 AM service to help them navigate the hymnal
and bulletin. These initial interactions often blossom into true friendships where we can shine
and share our Christian faith.

apply for assistance? Do you have a vehicle to move things? Can you drive people to
appointments, or bring them to church with you for services or fellowship events?
