Interfaith Prayer Service
Please join the wider Rochester faith community to pray for our neighbors at an interfaith prayer service for asylum seekers, immigrants, refugees, and migrants. Co-sponsored by GRCC Faith in Action, Greater Harvest Church, and RocACTS, it will provide an opportunity to stand in solidarity with those whose lives and paths here have become immeasurably harder with current political decisions.
This prayer service is being held at Greater Harvest Church, 121 Driving Park Ave in Rochester on Tuesday, March 18 at 7:00 pm. Among religious leaders from Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths, we will hear Rev. Sebrone O. Johnson, pastor of Greater Harvest Church, Rev. Dr. Timothy J. Johnson, ordained minister and professor emeritus in social work from Roberts Wesleyan University, Rev. Michael Yousef, pastor of El Shaddai Church, and Pastor Wanda Wilson, Community Organizer/Director of RocACTS, and more.
African Dinner Fundraiser
Pastor Cheryl Frank, Greece Baptist Church
On Saturday, March 29 from 5-6:30pm at Greece Baptist Church Fellowship Hall (door #4), our RocUbuntu Ecumenical Churches will be hosting a delicious African Dinner to raise funds for three new refugee families settling in Rochester. Funds raised will be used for initial three months housing and utilities to welcome these families to their new homes in the Rochester area.
An assortment of dishes will be served, including ubugari (white corn flour), rice, potatoes, plantain, beef, chicken, beans, isombe (casava leaves), cabbage, drinks and desserts. Vegan and vegetarian options available.
The suggested donation is $20 per plate. Please come and invite your friends who are concerned about federal funding cuts to refugee settlement and who want to make a difference.
The dinner will be served dine-in or takeout. Please RSVP to Brandon at the Greece Baptist Church Office: 225-6160 or office@greecebaptistchurch.org.
