And I am not gonna pass the plate today,

it will just end up at the pawnshop.

(SIGHS)

You really want to be on her side?

O God, open thou our lips.

(ALL MUMBLING)

Hymn number 687.

AIMEE:
Oh. Ye Win?

(CHUCKLES)

Many new family from refugee camp,

they not know modern things.

We had to learn when we came,

but this is a good place for us.

Good for family, for children.

It is. I just... I wish we could do more.

Those food stamps went so fast.

Maybe we plant a garden at

All Saints, grow vegetable.

Very good ground at All Saints.

Sure, I think you could plant a garden.

I don't think we're gonna have the church

long enough for you to harvest anything.

- Anything from Child Services?

- Not yet.

Stay with Atticus.

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Officer, I'm their pastor.

What's happening here?

The kid ran out into traffic.

We rescued him,

then she tried to grab him from us and run.

And she assaulted me.

Sir, I need you to step back from her.

- Sir.

- He's with me.

Tell him to bring it down.

She think maybe they torture him.

- Torture a baby?

- No, you don't understand.

- (GLASS SHATTERING)

- Guys, don't do that!

Hey, where they're from,

they don't trust the poli...

- Hey!

- Back up.

- Put the kid in the car.

- Don't do that.

But they don't know that.

They just saw you hit a preacher.

Let's just take the temperature down. Please.

She's a member of my church.

She's a member of my church.

Hey, buddy.

Does it hurt?

This?

No.

I mean, just a little bit, but don't tell

Mom, 'cause I want her to think I'm tough.

Were they mad today? The Karen?

No. I think they're scared.

They don't know anyone,

they're far from home.

You know what that's like.

But Mom told me that you tried to help me.

And that was very brave.

What do you think will happen

to them when we leave?

The Karen?

Well, I'll tell you what,

let's keep 'em in our prayers

Aren't you God's help?

MICHAEL:
All Saints is at its end,

but we do have one final mission.

The Karen are here legally.

They're eager for a fresh start,

ready to work.

In fact, we've found them a handful of jobs

in the last few weeks. But now...

We turn to you, the town's business leaders.

I'm sure that I don't have to tell you

one out of four children in this country

don't know where

their next meal is coming from.

The Reverend Michael Spurlock, everyone.

(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)

You know, we're the churches
