Countdown - 7 Days to Election Day

Dear Friends in Faith, We are counting down, praying, and sharing steps you can take to get to Election Day. What can you do today? JOIN US IN PRAYER Loving God, we give thanks for our right to vote and know that the outcome of this and all elections affect our lives. We pray for healing for the divisions among us, patience as some of us wait hours to vote, and calm as we wait for the results of the election. Give us wisdom to make choices that benefit the least among us, and let us unite around the common good, mercy, and justice. May your love sustain us. Amen. BRING SPIRIT TO THE POLLS Attend a free webinar on Thursday, Oct. 29. The Rev. Traci Blackmon, associate general minister, has invited civil rights leader Ruby Sales to speak about activism and voter suppression issues. Sales, a historian and member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), will join Blackmon in conversation to “Bring Spirit to the Polls." Register. MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE If you haven’t already, make a voting plan. Vote early if you can do so safely.
