Legislation & Government
Presbyterian Christians believe it’s important to be involved in government. Find your state legislator at https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/, click on “Find Your District and Legislators,” and stay in touch. Learn about the issues and let your legislators know that you care. To weigh in about budget deliberations in particular, email waysandmeans.budget@oregonlegislature.gov.

You can find them all here: https://pres-outlook.org/category/ministryresources/looking-into-the-lectionary/. You may subscribe by emailing Jana Blazek at jblazek@pres-outlook.org and ask to be added to the list, or click the link at the end of the lectionary reflections on the website, which will allow you to sign up yourselves. And it’s free!
