WHEN: 6-8 p.m., Saturday June 23
WHERE: City Creek Park
Salt Lake City, UT

WHAT: In response to our current administration’s “zero tolerance” policy at our southern border and the inhumane separation of thousands of children from their families, we and others of like-mind will gather on Saturday, June 23 at 6:00 PM at City Creek Park in Salt Lake City to pray, sing hymns, and read meaningful statements and scriptural passages in an effort to shine a light on this horrific situation.
MWEG recognizes the need for the United States to protect its border and is not promoting any specific legislative action. The purpose of this event is to highlight the pain and suffering of those separated from families, both at the border and through deportations, and petition lawmakers to seek compassionate solutions as they approach immigration legislation.
If children and families matter to you, please join us. We also plead with you to contact your members of Congress about this and to pray that the hearts of those in positions to change these practices and to work toward a more humane treatment of all people everywhere will be softened.
