VOTING AS AN EXPRESSION OF FAITH
This series is about engaging us as a church family to consider how our vote can be an expression of faith. How each of our votes can be reflective of the God we serve.
It's not driven by a desire to tell you who to vote for, but rather how to vote. To get us seeking and listening to God on how he wants us to have significant influence on our government through the voting system.
