Be Just. Be Engaged. We voted.... Now what?!

Campaign recapWhile it’s still fresh in our minds, let’s talk about the voter engagement campaign. We’d love to hear from campaign volunteers and congregants about what worked, what didn’t, and what could be different next time.

Moving forwardWe came together as a congregation around voting. Let’s start talking about other common causes that could bring us together. What would you like the BJBE social justice team to focus on next? What are your current passions and interests?

Join us for conversations that matterWe’ll meet on Sunday, November 11, from 10:45 to 11:45. Drop off your kids, shop a bit at the holiday boutique, then come talk about how to make the world a more just place.

Thanks for helping repair the world!
