Let Them Stay!
 

 

We Stand Together with Immigrants in NH!
 
 
We stand with the Seacoast Interfaith Sanctuary Coalition, the Granite State Organizing Project and Sanctuary Churches everywhere–in calling on ICE to leave NH and back off our American streets.
 
With faith leaders across the state and immigrant advocates from across the country, we stand boldly and faithfully alongside immigrants in our communities and towns.  They are us.  We are them.  And we’re all in this together
 
If you’re looking for a community where care,
solidaritiy and resistance are practiced in faith’
and prayer, join us on the journey of friendship
and advocacy!
 
 
ICE OUT OF NH!
respoinding to state-sanctioned violence in cities and communities:
 
 
With friends and allies from faith communities statewide, we’re calling “ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES!”  We’ve seen the death and destruction the government has brought to Minneapolis, and we’ve experienced some of that same terror here in New Hampshire, alongside immigrant neighbors detained in their homes and schools and suddenly deported without warning.  We say “NO MORE!”  This is not the country we believe in.  This is not the heart that defines America.  Join us Thursday in Manchester for an important moment of moral outrage and prophetic declaration!  ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.  And this is not who we are!
 
 
Blessings and Peace!
 
If you’ve found the site today, I imagine that you’re curious about spiritual community–and what it offers us, here and now, in today’s world of wonder and uncertainty.
 
Look around.  Explore our values, our vision, our programs.  And know that your curiosity itself is a God-gift: a gift to be treasured, pursued and enjoyed.  Maybe you’re new to Durham, UNH or the Seacoast itself.  Check out out a service, a program, a class we’re offering. See if your spirit’s lifted in some way by the community of friends you find here.
 
The best way to know what we believe is to see how we do what we do! Church isn’t just a building: it’s a movement.  As the Community Church of Durham, we’re creating a movement of many generations, many voices and many gifted souls.  It’s a lot of fun, it’s a circle of wonder; and it’s a movement for the blessing of all life.
 
If you’ve got any questions, I’m always eager to talk!  Wherever you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome among us at the Community Church.
