Advocacy Training January 25th

Join us for an advocacy training session, Jan. 25, 12:15-2:00 p.m. in the Plymouth Fireside room.

All are welcome to take their activism to the next level by attending training at Plymouth by local organizers on how to be an effective messenger on social justice legislation. We'll learn effective techniques and strategies to get our voices heard in the political arena.

Then take your training and message to your legislators at the State Capitol on Feb. 3 for the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition Day on the Hill. You'll be among thousands of faith-based activists speaking out on social justice issues. Register at www.jrlc.org

Join these Advocacy events and plug into a network of people transforming our community. Plymouth Advocacy links our faith with action by organizing for the common good. We're non-partisan, seeing furthering justice as a realization of the Kingdom of God.

Outreach Board Retreat

This past weekend the Outreach Board held a retreat focused around the purpose of Outreach and some strategic planning for the board. We reflected on why we particpate in outreach and what is means to us, why Plymouth is such a strong vehicle for outreach. We then looked at some strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and focused on some issues. We then came up with some actions and resources needed to address key issues. All of this will information will be put together and we will have a vision for the future of the Outreach Board. We will continue to post on this vision as it comes into focus.
