Event Calendar

  

A member of the LIRS staff might be in your area soon for an event or meeting. We place a high value on spending quality time with migrants and refugees as well as partners and supporters with whom we serve. From workshops to temple talks to coffee with people who have a story to share, we gather to encourage and equip each other for our mutual mission of welcome. And if you are coming to Baltimore, we hope you'll visit us at The Lutheran Center.

Request an LIRS event or meeting in your area.
