"Open Ears Listening Campaign"
Your Inputs Are Needed!
UUCH is partnering with Faith In Action Alabama (FIAA) to develop a faith-based action plan to be presented to the next Alabama governor in January 2019. To develop this action plan, FIAA has initiated the Open Ears Listening Campaign to obtain input from Alabama residents on what we feel are the most pressing local and statewide concerns facing the people of Alabama.
UUCH has hosted opportunities for you to participate and have your voices be heard. Your answers to the seven Listening Campaign questions will be consolidated and forwarded to FIAA. The
next listening campaign session at UUCH will be held at the following time:
-
Sunday, June 24th, at 12:30 pm
This listening session will be held in the Adult Religious Education room and should last less than an hour.
