We had a great turnout Sunday morning for our Adult Forum, where we discussed issues and races in the coming election. Maybe we were a little too much "of like mind," but we still found we had a lot to teach each other, and I'm glad everyone enjoyed coming together to help each other make informed choices.
Remember, this Tuesday, November 4th is Election Day! Get to the polls and make your voice heard! And, if you can, offer someone else a ride to the polls and help them claim their voice. Contact Kath Connor to learn more about Faith Voices' Get Out The Vote efforts.
