First United Methodist Church, 200 E. State St., St. Johns, has decided to explore the issue from a Christian perspective.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13feb\/methodist.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"alignright size-full\" \/>All are invited to the church on Tuesday, February 26 at 7:30 pm, to watch a short video on the life of one immigrant family in Michigan. Small group discussions on the ways in which the current immigration policies affect families in Michigan will follow. Refreshments will be provided.<br \/>\nOn March 22 the movie, Under the Same Moon\/La Misma Luna, will be shown. This movie highlights the problem of a mother who has come to the United States from Mexico and her son, who journeys north to find her. A brief time of discussion will follow. Popcorn and snacks provided. Admission is free and all are welcome.<br \/>\nOn June 16 at 10:50 am, an eight-week study, Immigration and the Bible will begin. Study groups will meet on Sundays and at other times during the week.<br \/>\nTimes and dates will be advertised in May.
