After whirlwind trips to Chicago and Portland last week, I am noticeably aware that The United Methodist Church's General Conference will begin in just a little over 4 months. I'm going to be honest, friends, it's going to be a difficult time. A lot of the work we do as MFSA, and as part of the Love Your Neighbor Coalition will happen on the ground, and so we'll need your support: donations, volunteers, witnesses, and, as always, prayers. We will be there to proclaim loudly, "we are justice-seeking people of faith!"

Indeed, the witness of the Methodist Federation for Social Action extends beyond General Conference. While we prepare for Portland, we are also continuing to witness to Congress, the Supreme Court, local Annual Conferences, city councils, and in the corners of society where voices for justice seek amplification.

How are you using your voice? Where are the places where the voice of justice-seekers needs amplified? How can the Methodist Federation for Social Action help you say loudly and proudly, "I am a justice-seeking person of faith!"?

Seeking justice, In faith,

Chett Pritchett

Executive Director
