Know Before You Vote: Civics for Change Makers Lunch & Learn
Sunday, September 20 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in Founder’s Hall
Learn the practical side of voting, from voter registration and mail-in ballots to early voting and polling places, so you can make a plan to vote. Whether you’re a first-time voter or just need a refresher, this Lunch & Learn will provide practical voter education to help you feel informed and prepared.
What’s On Your Ballot: Civics for Change Makers Lunch & Learn
Sunday, October 18 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the Youth Center
Get prepared to vote with confidence as we explore what’s on the ballot, discuss ballot measures, and share trusted, nonpartisan tools to research candidates and issues. Bring your General Election ballot and learn how to create a personalized voting plan using reliable resources to make informed decisions based on your own values and priorities. This is not an event telling you who or what to vote for; our goal is simply to provide reliable resources, space for questions, and practical guidance so you can make your own informed choices at the ballot box. Whether you’re new to civic engagement or need a refresher, this Lunch & Learn will provide practical guidance and space for questions.
PAST TRAININGS INCLUDE:
A Basic Guide to Government: Civics for Change Makers – Ever wondered who actually does what in our government or how it all fits together? This Civics for Change Makers is designed to take the confusion out of civics and give you a clear, accessible foundation for understanding how our government works. As people of faith, we are called to love our neighbors not only through service, but through informed and thoughtful engagement in the world around us. Understanding how our government works is one way we live out that calling.
Social Principles: Civics for Change Makers – This series is designed to equip and inspire faithful civic engagement by learning the foundations of Wesleyan theology – the 2025-2028 Social Principles and Social Creed. Together, we’ll explore the history and heart behind these teachings and how they shape the way we engage with the world around us. This gathering will lay the biblical and theological groundwork for why being United Methodist means approaching civic life with clarity, conviction, and compassion.
