Faith & Democracy Sunday 9/20/2020

Poeple in line to cast a vote.

Faith & Democracy 2020, a campaign of the Justice & Witness Action Network, calls on local churches across the Central Atlantic Conference to come together on Sunday, Sep. 20, for a time of worship and mobilization to call on voters to vote in the General Election.
As people of faith, our vote serves as a powerful tool to rid our communities of injustice, racism and inequity. There is no better time than now to be faithful to God’s call. The call to engage in public life. The call to fight for justice and liberation.
Join us for this important organizing moment in the Faith & Democracy 2020 campaign. Mark your calendar and prepare to receive the Faith & Democracy 2020 worship packet soon.

Virtual Meet & Greet

Virtual Meet & Greet Announcment
Greetings Potomac Association,
 
Let’s gather for a Virtual Meet and Greet – “What’s Going On” – on Saturday; June 6, 2020 at 9:30 am. This will be a moderated opportunity to express, inspire, and impart into one another virtually.  We will transition from the Meet & Greet to the worship and business of the Potomac Association Spring Meeting 2020 at 10:00 am.
 
One Link for both gatherings:
 
 
Part of the business to be conducted in Saturday’s meeting is a vote approving the Committee on Ministry ‘s decision to use the new version of the Manual on Ministry (“MOM”) developed by the national office of the UCC.  This manual is the main resource for guidelines and procedures for the Committee on Ministry to use in their important work in authorizing clergy and churches.
 
If you have not seen the special video on the new MOM that has been made by our COM, we encourage you to view it before Saturday, when the vote will be taken. It is available on YouTube.
 
See you / talk to you on Saturday!
 
With respect and thanks,
 
Minister Robert “Bobby” Faison
Moderator – Potomac Association
