00:04.340 --> 00:06.760
a week and a half ago , one of the

00:06.760 --> 00:08.927
daughters of my congregation gave me a

00:08.927 --> 00:10.760
phone call and she said that her

00:10.760 --> 00:12.649
parents were looking for a way to

00:12.649 --> 00:14.704
support . So we created a network of

00:14.704 --> 00:16.927
places throughout the city of Green Bay

00:16.927 --> 00:18.982
that people could drop off the items

00:18.982 --> 00:20.982
that were suggested . And then uh ,

00:20.982 --> 00:23.093
throughout the , this this week we've

00:23.093 --> 00:25.300
had a whole truckload of items dropped

00:25.300 --> 00:27.356
off and uh , and and then we brought

00:27.356 --> 00:31.050
him here this morning . And I think

00:31.050 --> 00:33.161
this whole effort is important from a

00:33.161 --> 00:35.272
variety of ways . Uh , it's important

00:35.272 --> 00:37.439
for the community to be engaged , that

00:37.439 --> 00:39.550
they can feel that sense of ownership

00:39.550 --> 00:41.439
for bringing these people here to

00:41.439 --> 00:44.340
safety and to joy and peace and uh ,

00:44.350 --> 00:46.294
and prosperity , prosperity , when

00:46.294 --> 00:48.350
freedoms we all get to enjoy in this

00:48.350 --> 00:51.240
place . It's also important um for for

00:51.250 --> 00:54.060
these afghan families that are here to

00:54.070 --> 00:56.860
feel realize and receive that . Which

00:56.860 --> 00:59.082
makes us american , that which makes us

00:59.082 --> 01:01.360
proud to be american are giving nature ,

01:01.360 --> 01:03.638
are welcoming nature , our hospitality .

01:03.638 --> 01:05.804
And so the more we can share in that ,

01:05.804 --> 01:05.560
the better
