Bethany Christian Services Partnership Orientation (zoom)
/If you would like to participate in the welcome we are extending to a refugee family arriving in Grand Rapids this week, let us know! We are now a partnering church community. The first family we will help to welcome will arrive on Thursday, December 9. The family will stay in a residential hotel for several weeks after their arrival in Grand Rapids.
An orientation for partnering church community members will occur on Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 6:00 PM. If you would like to join this zoom info session, please let Barb Huitema or Brenda Tooley know - we'll send you the zoom link. That's THIS WEEK!
Please let Barb know if and how you would like to participate in this church community effort! There will be more opportunities in future, as well. Stay tuned :)
Just as a reminder: Bethany Christian handles all aspects of the families’ welcome and ongoing support – from the airport welcome to securing housing to kitting out the house to helping with school placement and job-seeking to the family’s transition to full independence. We are not responsible for all of the family's resettlement needs. Instead, we partner with BCS to provide a warm welcome, support in the form of advice about things like dental services and schools, car rides to appointments (SSN, DMV, doc appointments, etc.), and a neighborly, caring presence as the family begins its new life in the States.
