· · Leave a Comment

For those who could not be with us at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Raleigh, video from portions of the day is available on our Facebook page.

The morning worship was led by the Revs. Jill and Rick Edens of United Church of Chapel Hill, and NCCC board member the Rev. Paula Dempsey provided music.

Lisa Price and Congressman David Price received our Faith Active in Public Life Award, marking the first time the honor has been presented to a married couple.

We hope those who joined us found the day inspiring and informative as we strive to bring a faithful progressive voice to issues impacting North Carolina. To all who attended, presented, and helped in myriad ways, we are beyond grateful.
