Solidarity Service this Sunday, 7 PM



Friends:

Three R.I. churches are calling people of
faith to "solidarity with all immigrants in
the USA" this Sunday evening, March 18 at
7 pm in a special worship service at the Open
Table of Christ, 1520 Broad St. at the Providence-
Cranston city line. Testimonies will be heard from
persons who were eyewitness to the raid and detention
of immigrants in New Bedford. Persons are invited to
bring diapers, baby formula, and food to the service
which is sponsored by St.Michael's Catholic Parish,
Vida Abundante, and Open Table of Christ UMC.

We are hoping that this worship event will be a time of
solidarity and unity across the body of faith for all of
us who recognize our own immigrant roots, who are concerned
for those who are increasingly targeted by employers for
super-exploitation, and by the government as scapegoats, and
for all who fear the loss of civility and liberty in our land.
Sunday, March 18, 7 PM Open Table of Christ/La Vida Abundante United Methodist in Washington Park 1520 Broad St. (at the Prov./Cranston city line - Bus 11)
