​

The family have Arrived! Come and meet them October 6th!

 

You may recall from an earlier newsletter this year that Karin Kronstal, wife of Joel Roszmann, confirmed in our church, is on the 5-member team to bring an Afghani woman and her 3 children to Canada for safety and freedom. 

 

Good news!  The family recently relocated to Nanaimo from Afghanistan as part of Canada’s Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program. Following the October 6th service, there will be a brief presentation from those involved in her journey to Canada about her experience and the sponsorship process.

 

Coffee and cookies will be provided and tax deductible donations accepted toward their relocation costs. Donations may be made through our church with “Afghani Refugee Relocation” written on the offering envelope.

 

Mark your calendars to stay for about 45 minutes following the October 6 service!
