This is the weekly bulletin insert from Sermons That Work.

This month, our friends at Episcopal Migration Ministries share the many facets of their work with refugees and other forcibly displaced people.

Episcopal Migration Ministries

Episcopal Migration Ministries: Ministry Network

Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM), the refugee resettlement and migration ministry of The Episcopal Church, is also the Church’s convening place for collaboration, education, and information-sharing on migration.

EMM convenes an Episcopal Asylum & Detention Ministry Network that meets virtually on the fourth Wednesday of every month. The Ministry Network’s collaborative work and conversation focus on best practice-sharing in areas of

  • Direct service
  • Organizing
  • Advocacy actions
  • Christian formation and worship resources
  • Community education to protect asylum, promote humane and dignified alternatives to detention
  • Support asylum seekers and those harmed by the immigration detention system

Learn more and register to attend meetings at episcopalmigrationministries.org/ministrynetwork.

"In the name of these refugees, aid all refugees through interest, friendship, gifts." This poster was part of the initial wartime effort that eventually resulted in Episcopal Migration Ministries and Episcopal Relief and Development.

Sermons That Work from the Episcopal Church

Sermons That Work

For more than 20 years, Sermons That Work, a ministry of The Episcopal Church’s Office of Communication, has provided free sermons, Bible studies, bulletin inserts, and other resources that speak to congregations across the Church. Our writers and readers come from numerous and varied backgrounds, and the resources we provide are used in small house churches, sprawling cathedrals, and everything between.

The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, reaching out to the world.

Church of the Redeemer

Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.

The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
