Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46

We are called to love our neighbors, including the sick, the hungry, and immigrants and refugees. In today's Scripture passage, Jesus says that "just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40, NRSV) We care for the poor, oppressed, and marginalized because, when we do, we are also caring for Jesus. Today, we will focus specifically on ways we can hear the stories of immigrants and refugees, and how we can help and care for them.
