Kingdom and Immigration - Oct 25th U40 Meeting
Have you been wrestling with how to think about border and immigration issues through the lens of God’s Kingdom? Is the border fence a good or bad thing? Is this an issue between two cities, two countries, or perhaps two kingdoms? Where should our allegiances lie?
This month, we have invited Marcos Mujica to help us navigate this conversation. From NAFTA to tariffs, citizenship to resistance, we will be covering a lot of ground. Marcos is a graduate of Pt. Loma Nazarene University and is a thoughtful authority on Kingdom and its implications for us today.
Join us on October 25th from 9am to 12noon for our usual Saturday morning of network and learning. Meet other kingdom-minded missional leaders and hear about what God is doing in the city. We will also celebrate communion together.
We’ll be meeting at Border Field State Park, right up against the border fence and overlooking the beach. Bring a lawn chair and dress for an outdoor meeting. There is plenty of parking as well as restroom facilities.
Let me know if you are coming: geoff[a]thehsus[dot]com, or the better option is to join the U40 Facebook group and RSVP at the event page.
Important logistics stuff:
- If it rains the day before, the park may be closed due to flooding/sedimentation/runoff from Tijuana. If so, keep an eye on your inbox. You can check the park website about closings.
- Entrance to the park will cost $5 per car, so go green and carpool.
- Occasionally there is an immigration checkpoint upon leaving the park. Bring valid U.S. identification.
Directions:
From I-5 Exit West on Dairy Mart Road / Dairy Mart Road turns into Monument Road / Follow Monument Road to Border Field State Park Entrance / Follow road to Friendship Park, overlooking the beach. Here is a map.
