Virginia Legislature to Meet in Special Session This Month
Virginia legislators return to Richmond August 18 for a special session of the General Assembly. Dismantling Racism and Public Policy Witness Ministries recommend four actions churches and individuals can take to advocate for those impacted by injustices in our criminal justice system. Contacting your representatives is easy with sample letters.
Learn about legislation proposed for the special session in a webinar tonight at 8 p.m. Request Zoom log-in information by emailing pojdrbbc@gmail.com.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Board of Pensions benefits plan extends support to more ministers. It also adds benefits that promote financial protection for all church workers. Employers can choose benefits for 2021 through October 9 by logging into Benefits Connect. For assistance, email Martha Reisner or call 215-587-7049.
Virginia now requires most employers, including churches, to provide pay stubs to their employees. Learn more with a fact sheet created by the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy.
Reminder: applications to serve on Youth Council (POJ YoCo) are due August 28. Members develop leadership skills through learning, volunteer service, and fellowship. Encourage a teen to apply now.
