Genesis 21:1-21
This Sunday, we will celebrate Refugee
and Immigrant Welcome Sunday. Our
scripture this week continues our journey in Genesis—with the birth of Isaac to
Sarah and the banishment of Hagar and Ishmael. In light of Refugee and
Immigrant Welcome Sunday, we will consider: What does it mean to be unwelcome
in your own home? How does God continue to meet us and love us, even
through all of the pain, rejection, uncertainty, and grief?
