A Heartfelt Thank You from the Zambrano Family

Last year, St. Paul's partnered with Canopy NW Arkansas through a Circle of Welcome team to support the Zambrano family as they established a new home in our community. Parishioners generously donated furniture, household items, time, and care to help furnish their apartment and welcome them as neighbors.

Recently, we received a note from the family expressing their gratitude for the support they received from St. Paul's. In part, they wrote:

"¡Gracias! Su apoyo, amor y amabilidad han dejado una dulce impresión..."

"Thank you! Your support, love, and kindness have left a sweet impression. We will always remember you and yours fondly. We feel so fortunate to be able to count on your help and generosity. You are incredible people! We do not have enough words to express our gratitude—let us just say, 'God bless you always.'" — Lilia, Vanessa, and the children

As Christians, we are called to welcome the stranger, care for our neighbors, and share God's love in tangible ways. Through your generosity, the Zambrano family found not only an apartment, but also a community that cared for them during an important transition.

Thank you to everyone who donated furniture, coordinated deliveries, offered support, and helped make this ministry possible. Your kindness has made a lasting difference, and this note is a beautiful reminder of the impact our parish can have when we come together in service.

Please continue to keep the Zambrano family in your prayers as they continue building their life here in Northwest Arkansas.
