To our beloved neighbors and friends,

We are all aware, as is much of the world at this point, that there has been a frightening upsurge of ICE agents actively roaming the Twin City area. They are targeting vulnerable neighbors and communities, including the East Side of St. Paul where we serve Jesus. Fear and terror are being inflicted upon people simply going about their lives. As we know, yesterday Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, lost her life while attempting to drive away from an ICE invasion.

We stand against this weaponization of fear and seek to come alongside our neighbors in the best ways we can. We stand against the ancient lies that might is right, that the ends justify the means, and that people who are immigrants are expendable. We pray for people now living with abject fear in their own homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. We pray for the family and friends of the woman who was killed today. We pray for God's powerful invention to bring this horrible flexing of unchecked power to an end.

May God open our eyes, ears, and heart to the pleading of those who are at risk and filled with fear. May God bring hope into hopelessness and peace into chaos. May God give us the boldness and courage to act by showing up, standing up, and speaking up, even at a moment's notice. And may we, by God's grace, be the instruments of God's peace through the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us.
