Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church (2315 Chicago Avenue South, Minneapolis) invites everyone to “Who Is Our Neighbor? Songs for Sanctuary,” a fundraiser to respond with beauty and support to the needs of immigrants in our midst.
The event will be held Saturday, September 16, at 7 pm and will feature Bret Hesla, composer and folk singer, Kent Goodroad, jazz pianist, and members of Cien Anos, the Honduran band in town for the Nobel Peace Prize Forum.
Money raised will provide support to local sanctuary and immigration reform efforts, including the work of ISAIAH, the English Learning Center of Our Saviour’s Outreach Center, and material support to congregations providing sanctuary in Minnesota.
Come enjoy good music and support the work of providing sanctuary to people who are in fear of deportation in the current political climate.
“The real work of sanctuary—creating safety and shelter and welcome—falls to ordinary people.”
Freewill admission, give what you can, no one is turned away (cash, credit/debit, and checks accepted).
This is a children friendly event with childcare available.
