Today, we are thinking especially of the fathers separated from their children because of immigration detention. While many families are celebrating together, countless dads are spending this day behind bars, missing precious moments they can never get back.

We continue to pray for the fathers who worry constantly about providing for their families, the children who long to see their dads, and the wives and loved ones carrying heavy burdens at home.

At Hope for Neighbors, we have met many fathers who speak about their children with tears in their eyes. Their greatest wish is simple: to be home with the people they love.

Summer has arrived in West Michigan, and with it comes blueberry season! Ottawa County is known as Michigan's "Blueberry Capital," and each year hundreds of migrant and seasonal farmworkers travel to our area to help plant, cultivate, and harvest the crops that support our local economy and put fresh fruit on our tables.
At Iglesia Episcopal de San Juan - Hispana, Grand Haven, MI - St. John's Episcopal Church, we believe that everyone deserves to feel welcomed, valued, and connected. Through our annual Fiesta en el Campo, we work to ensure that migrant workers and their families know they are an important part of our community while they are here.
Our celebration includes a bilingual church service, food trucks, children's activities, community resources, connections to local organizations, hygiene items, clothing, and opportunities for fellowship. We do this because we are called to love our neighbors and care for one another.
Plans are now underway for this year's Fiesta en el Campo!

*The church building will be closed on Monday and Tuesday. Please bring donations on Wednesday, June 24 through July 13, we will be collecting:
🧺 Laundry detergent
🧴 Dish soap
👕 Dryer sheets
🧢 Baseball caps
🛏️ Twin-size sheet sets (new)
☁️ Pillows (new)
Donations can be dropped off at St. John's Episcopal Church beginning tomorrow, June 21.

Thank you for helping us extend a warm West Michigan welcome to the workers and families who contribute so much to our community each summer. Together, we can help ensure they feel seen, supported, and appreciated.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about Fiesta en el Campo, please send us a message!

Thank you to everyone who came to learn today, to the panelists for their willingness to educate and share their knowledge, and to the Ortiz family for courageously sharing some of their most vulnerable moments to raise awareness about the inhumane treatment and injustices that continue to occur today. Their story is one of many, and their willingness to speak out helps shed light on experiences that too often go unheard. Thanks to Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates, Lakeshore Rapid Response to ICE Hope for Neighbors Raíces Migrantes, the Immigrant Justice Team of St. John’s Episcopla Church, and Divine Charcuterie & Fruits for feeding us and Church of the Dunes for hosting!!

At St. John’s Episcopal Church in Grand Haven, a memorial was created for the 48 known people who have died in detention centers in 2025 and early 2026.
These are the names we know. There are likely many more we don't.
This memorial is about remembrance, accountability, and refusing to let people become forgotten statistics. Every person lost was someone's child, parent, sibling, friend, and loved one. Their lives mattered!
The fact that a memorial like this is necessary should concern all of us.
If you want to learn how to advocate, take action, and get involved in the fight for human rights and dignity, join us this Tuesday at 5:30.
Together, our voices are stronger.

En la Iglesia de St. John’s Episcopal en Grand Haven se creó un memorial para las 48 personas conocidas que han mu**to en centros de detención durante 2025 y principios de 2026.
Estos son los nombres que conocemos. Es probable que haya muchas más personas de las que nunca hemos sabido.
Este memorial trata de la memoria, la responsabilidad y de negarnos a permitir que las personas se conviertan en estadísticas olvidadas. Cada persona que perdimos era hijo, hija, madre, padre, hermano, hermana, amigo o ser querido de alguien. Sus vidas importaban.
El hecho de que un memorial como este sea necesario debería preocuparnos a todos.
Si quieres aprender a defender a tu comunidad, tomar acción e involucrarte en la lucha por los derechos humanos y la dignidad de todas las personas, acompáñanos este martes. Juntas y juntos, nuestras voces son más fuertes.
