WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE! this evening in the Christian Life Center
5:30pm meal will be prepared by The Seekers Sunday School class. Menu: fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, salad, & dessert.
6:00pm program: Join us as we share in a time of learning and discussion with a student from a nearby high school as she talks about her experience as a beneficiary of the DACA program. DACA stands for "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals," a program that allows certain undocumented young people brought to the United States as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Learn more about how DACA impacts our local community. You will be inspired by the story of one local student who depends upon DACA.
