Good civic participation starts with being informed.

St. Luke’s Missions is hosting two Civics for Change Makers Lunch & Learns this fall to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident when it’s time to cast your ballot.

• Know Before You Vote
September 20 | 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Get the practical info you need to vote - registration, early voting, vote-by-mail, polling places, deadlines, and more. Representatives from the Supervisor of Elections Office will help you make a plan.

• What's On Your Ballot?
October 18 | 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Bring your General Election ballot and learn how to research candidates and ballot measures using trusted, nonpartisan resources. No telling you how to vote - just tools to help you make informed choices.

🍽️ Lunch included for both events, all are welcome!

We live in a world of increasing divisiveness where the church has historically separated people based on race, economics, ethnicity, and orientation. Our neighbors in Florida are looking for safe spaces where they can be welcomed and respected for their whole authentic selves and find belonging to move forward in a relationship with Christ and his community. Join clergy and laity from across the conference for the second training in the Love First Evangelism Initiative! This 2-day training allows us, clergy and laity alike, to consider how we preach and practice beloved community through the stories and skills of practitioners from around the nation. Register now through the Linktree in our bio using the the Love First link or through the following link: https://www.flumc.org/BC-summit
