Thank you for making it to the end of this newsletter! We will leave you with this question... Do we remember when we were ourselves foreigners beyond our homeland?

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:33-34

The No Longer Alone Family Support Group, now supported by Landis Communities, will meet the fourth Sunday of the month.

Her presentation "Sharing the LEAP Approach" will be followed by a time of sharing.  The public meeting is scheduled for Sunday, February 26, 2023 from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. by Zoom, due to the chance of inclement weather.
