At this morning’s selection meeting we had about six nominations, and wound up choosing an article from this month’s Christianity Today because of its unique potential for encouraging voters who might otherwise vote for Trump to at least sit out this election. For anyone who has conservative friends or relatives on social media, this would be a great item to share:

Our first selection meeting!
