Unless you are a major recluse, you know that the 2012 elections are next Tuesday, November 6th. The auditorium that we meet in at Thomas Jefferson Middle School will be transformed into a busy voting precinct. Ballots will be cast and counted for different individuals and positions. These local, state, judicial, and federal elections will impact us in many ways and YOU have an opportunity to participate! If you haven’t already, here is what I want to urge you to do over the next couple of days:
Research the candidates and the issues.
I don’t know about you, but my football watching time is full of ads for various candidates, each with a different view of things. My phone is ringing with pre-recorded messages of goodwill from a variety of candidates and my local postal worker is struggling under the weight of the additional campaign mail. With all that is coming at us, it is easy to be confused. I urge you to take your time and sort through the candidates and what they stand for. Get as many facts as you can and then…
Whether you’ve been going to Salem Chapel for a few years or a few weeks, you’ve probably heard us talk about The City. Perhaps you’ve been slow to adopt The City or hesitant about another “social network.” We think The City is a great tool for ministry and would love to see our whole church body using it.
