As people of faith and members of the community, we are encouraged to participate in the civic life of the places we call home. This election season, take time to register, learn about the issues and candidates, make a voting plan, and cast your ballot. Here is the link to the Maryland Board of Elections for more information.
Whether voting early, by mail, or on Election Day, make a plan and make your voice count. This is not about telling anyone how to vote—it is about making sure every eligible voter has the opportunity to participate. Know your rights. Know your choices. Make your plan. Get Out the Vote! “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you…” — Jeremiah 29:7 For more information and if you’d like to support this ministry by transporting persons to their voting place, please contact Martha Shrader at [email protected] or call the church office at 301-927-6133 |
