The Border Church Call to Action
As you probably have heard, the Department of Homeland Security has announced that they will replace the two parallel 18 ft. fences with two 30 ft. walls through Friendship Park. It will defeat the binational friendliness that is the purpose of this park which hosts weekly Border Church communion services led by Rev. John Fanestil, festivals, and provides a meeting place for people who have been deported or who have separated families to meet and get assistance. FUMCSD has been supporting Border Church for a few years; you can learn more about it on the missionary section of the church's website here.
Friends of Friendship Park is requesting a delay in construction so that the stakeholders can meet with Customs and Border Patrol. Watch John Fanestil's video below.
