Voting Our Values Forum Sessions
weekly on Wednesdays 12-1pm on Zoom
As you know, Community UCC is part of NC Interfaith Power and Light and the NC Council of Churches. They are now offering a terrific series for people to learn and discuss various critical aspects for voting this fall. See details below.
I believe the events will be worth your time. You can register just one topic or all of them as you find personal need.
God’s blessings.

The 2020 elections could not be more significant. The outcome will set the course on climate change. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic, a major recession, and record joblessness. Our nation is in turmoil over police killings that have further exposed the deep inequities and racial injustice in our nation. It’s time for some national soul-searching, and faith communities have an important role to play.
That’s why NCIPL and the North Carolina Council of Churches are hosting an eight-week forum series detailing the important issues facing us this election beginning on August 12th. These events will highlight our multi-issue faith voter reflection guide – Democracy, Values & the 2020 Election: A Reflection Guide for Faith Communities – in addition to featuring expert speakers, and educating attendees on policy/the reality of voting during a pandemic.
