Worship Discussion on FCNL Legislative Priorities – 11:30 am
In a time of growing conflict and war in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the globe, the urgency of the climate crisis, threats to America’s democratic processes, and a desperate need to reckon with historic and ongoing racial injustice, our country faces significant challenges. Thus, your feedback and participation in the legislative priorities process are especially valuable this year.
