SPECIAL OFFERING FOR JULY
Sister Song and Planned Parenthood
This month’s special offering focuses on reproductive rights. Our faith affirms the sacredness of the human body, God’s desire for the flourishing of all humanity, and that God grants all humans moral agency over their own bodies. We are called to remove barriers to this self-agency, especially when it impacts those on the margins. Sister Song (www.sistersong.net) is a nonprofit founded and run by women of color that works to improve institutional policies and systems that impact the reproductive lives of marginalized communities. Our offering will be divided between Sister Song and Plan Parenthood.
Please join Justice and Love in Action (formerly Wider Mission) in this important effort to support reproductive justice. You can donate through our PayPal on the website (www.edwardschurch.org) or by check or cash in worship or in the church office. Please be sure to note “July Special Offering” on checks or envelopes.
