This Year’s Presidential Election This year is a presidential election and we want our congregation engaged. Our social actions ministry is in the lobby today recruiting volunteers for certified voter registration training, which will happen here at the Church throughout the Spring. Additionally, the Team is developing election information tools, which can properly equip members of the Church and community to make the RIGHT choices when they show up at the polls this Spring and Fall. Find out more on our website. You can also contact Deaconess Sheri Brown at blessedandfruitful@msn.com or Lisa Garry at lmgarry10@gmail.com for more information.
