Advocacy Workshop: Christian Principles in an Election Year
Lutherans have historically viewed Government as a divine gift from God, given to protect us, that we may live in peace and secure for ourselves daily bread. In a Presidential election year, a Christian voter must ask “Is our Government working “for all?” “How can I, in this election AND in between elections, help it work better?” Presenter: Marissa Harris Krey, Staff, Lutheran Advocacy PA.
EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ATTEND. There is no registration fee. Please register by Feb 20. Questions? Contact Lauretta Adams (610-530-1794) or rradams@ptd.net Event sponsored by the Congregational Unit of WOMEN of the ELCA. Download Flyer
