April 6-7, 2018
Travel with others from The Fountains to learn first-hand about immigration and border issues. We are partnering with El Mesias United Methodist in Nogales, Arizona to hear first-hand from those on both sides of the border who are dealing with the complex issues of immigration. Rev. Raul and Maritza Valazquez will be our guides as we explore some of the United Methodist Church’s response to needs along the border.
Overall cost: $75 (based on double occupancy at the Sonoran Inn and Suites in Nogales, AZ (which includes breakfast) and van transportation for the first 12 people to claim a seat. Additional participants will drive private cars/carpool. We will NOT be driving in Mexico.
Friday afternoon will include input from various speakers involved in ministry on the border. Saturday morning, we will walk across the border (staying together as a group), learn about immigration and relief programs in Nogales, Sonora, and then eat lunch at La Roca (a long-time Nogales favorite), and end with a little time for shopping. Check with your Health Care provider: some prescriptions can be filled at Nogales pharmacies at a fraction of the cost in the US.
YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT OR A PASSPORT CARD.
Registration and payment is due by March 25.
Our mission project for this trip is delivering new socks and women’s underwear to deliver directly to El Mesias UMC in Nogales.
