Join Pastor Liz on January 20, February 3, and February 24 for a Global Grace Cafe book study series with Albany Synod!

Brainstorm about steps you can take locally by first joining with friends from around Albany Synod in reading, discussing and learning from Global Grace Cafe: a Love Story About Battles Lost and Won to Keep Families Together in America's War on Immigrants, by theologian and historian Elizabeth Colmant Estes, who is also the pastor of the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY. 

From Amazon: "Global Grace Cafe a gripping, true, 18-year story of undocumented Christians who fled persecution in their homeland only to be caught in systems of asylum, detention, and deportation in the United States. 

With love, purpose, and determination, undocumented people joined with their U.S. citizen neighbors to beat the odds and keep families together. This effort required converting one American heart at a time—including author Elizabeth Estes, who admits she wanted nothing to do with immigration at first. This book explains how U.S. immigration both works and doesn’t work for refugees."
