The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have created even more difficulty in Syria as people continue to struggle with the government's suppression of its people. Radwan Kalaaji, a resident of Fort Collins, has worked for years teaching people in our community about the conditions in Syria. He raises funds through making his wonderful baklava and channels all those funds back to Syria, so people can receive direct assistance. Now, there is even more need in Syria. If you would like to help, please contact Radwan.

The ministry of welcome is at the core of the Way of Jesus. A simple expression of that is offering a warm welcome to all each Sunday at Plymouth by being a greeter. Click here to see open slots and sign up. (Next open slots are 11 a.m. on 2/26.) Looking for a way to help that's less people-oriented? You can also sign up for coffee cleanup (12:15-12:25 p.m.).
