Holy Week Offering: Our Holy Week offering will be donated to Abara, a ministry in El Paso, TX that provides border encounters for groups to better understand those most affected by injustice while pursuing dignified storytelling and ethical volunteerism. Abara is linked with 32+ migrant shelters on both sides of the Rio Grande in El Paso and Juarez. They partner with local leaders to respond to emerging needs on both sides of the border through hospitality, advocacy, and friendship. Our Holy Week offering funds will assist Abara in funding the Juarez Shelter Support Team who offer life skills workshops and community meals. In addition, Restoration will be going to visit Abara for a 3-day border experience in the fall. You can find details about that trip here.

Online gifts to Abara may be may through CCB.
