Presbyterian Advocacy Hour
Join us for a new monthly series – fourth Wednesday each month – hosted by the Presbyterian Church (USA). As Christians, we are called to act in the face of suffering, injustice and strife – to be repairers of the breach. The fuel behind such action is a mixture of faith, hope, discernment, spiritual nourishment, and community.
Presbyterian Advocacy Hour will bring together committed people of faith each month to fuel up with information on the most pressing issues. Church members, lay leaders, pastors, mid-council staff, all Presbyterians and friends are welcome! Get nourishment for your spirit, essential connections and resources, relationship building, and direction for how to stay in righteous movement while being your best self.
After the first overview session in February, each month we’ll dive deeply into one area of concern and provide the knowledge you need to take effective and focused action. The hour will start with spiritual grounding and then move to in-depth analysis of key issues. There will be an additional optional 30 minutes for time to network, movement-building, community-building and feedback on helping to shape what you need from these monthly advocacy hours. There is a barrage of pressing issues we might react to, but we contribute most faithfully with quality action and a loving presence. Let’s resource each other and do church in a world that needs every single one of us!
Monthly Advocacy Hour ~ Fourth Wednesdays First session will be on Wednesday, February 26th 9am (PST), 10am (MST), 11am (CST), 12pm (eastern)

We hope to see you on Feb 26 and each month after, if and when you’re available! And, thank you for helping us get the word out—we realize it’s a short turn-around to the kick off session.
One thing to note: because of the sensitive nature of some of the topics that might be addressed (i.e. immigration), we are not promising to record these and make them available after the time. Some may have components we record and make available in the follow-up resources (such as the opening session which is more of a general overview). However, forever will happen on a case-by-case basis, based on comfort level of the main presenter and the topic at hand. We do hope to compile resources (links, documents, etc) that could be provided as follow-up resources, even if the events themselves aren’t recorded.
Peace,
Rebecca
