Immigration Plunge coming soon to Denver

Church folks who can't get to the border can nonetheless find themselves at the 'frontera' in Denver, come August 3-9. That is when the ecumenical Urban Servant Corps will be hosting the first Immigration Plunge in this area, building on the experience of Lutheran-affiliated immersions both in Mexico and at the Mexican border.

UCC members are among those invited to participate. Twelve slots are available for a week-long experience led by Urban Servant Corps member Drew Rindfleisch.
