Blair First United Methodist Family,
It has been a couple of months since it was in the news, but the crisis in Afghanistan continues and the refugees from that country still need help. The NOW committee is working on a fundraiser to raise money for Lutheran Family Services for their work with the refugees, and you will hopefully hear more about that in the months to come. If you have a specific skill set or experience in a certain area, I encourage you to help out in whatever way you feel you are being led, through the Lutheran Family Services.
