Every year the Rochester Korean United Methodist Church invites several families residing in the Greater Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse areas who have adopted Korean children.  This movement started in 1973 to help American families rearing adopted Korean children.  The language and culture differences made the beginning of American life very difficult for many adopted children to settle in.  In continuing this tradition, the Aga-Pa committee was established.  The Aga-Pa committee organizes activities designed to help American parents understand Korean tradition, culture, history and language.  We have been providing booklets, pictures, entertainment with traditional songs and dances, and of course, plenty of delicious Korean cuisine for over 40 years since 1973.  We also have strong participation from the Korean War Veterans community who have served as great resources and support for American families.
