When an undocumented immigrant sought sanctuary in a church, the congregation had to make a choice. Hear the story and share your thoughts.
About this Event

Illegal immigration is one of the most debated issues today—how should we respond?

At Wellspring Cafe, we’ll explore this question through “An Immigrant in the Sanctuary: When Faith and Politics Collide.” Hear the firsthand story of Arturo Hernandez Garcia, an undocumented immigrant who sought refuge in a church basement to avoid deportation.

Rev. Mike Morran, who offered sanctuary to Garcia, shares why his church made this bold decision. What would you do if someone in Garcia’s situation came to you for help? What role should faith, politics, and human compassion play in immigration decisions?

Join us for an open and respectful conversation where you can share your thoughts and hear different perspectives. Don’t miss this eye-opening and timely Wellspring Café experience!

Wellspring Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.
