Social Justice: 05 August 2026


SOCIAL JUSTICE: GET OUT TO VOTE POSTCARD CAMPAIGN: A little more than 200 postcards were completed this week in our ongoing campaign to get people to raise their voices by voting in the upcoming November mid-term elections. Many thanks to everyone who sat at our tables or took postcards home to complete. There’s a great chance to create a blue tsunami this fall, so let’s get after it and write a bunch of postcards! Really would like to see you next Sunday in the Fellowship Hall after service. Let’s make this happen!
