Sunday, October 18: “Faithful Choices: Our Duty to Vote” with Connie Green-Johnson
What does it mean to put our values into action through civic engagement?
This Sunday, Wedgewood welcomes longtime member, community advocate and dedicated servant leader Connie Green-Johnson for a timely reflection on the importance of voting and participating in our democracy.
​
Connie has spent decades advocating for her community through political leadership, civic engagement and volunteer service.
She served two terms as president of the Democratic Women and two terms as third vice chair of the Black Political Caucus, where she is also a lifetime member.
​
Her dedication to public service has earned her an impressive list of honors, including the STAR Award from the North Carolina State Democratic Women, the Pat Patton Award from the Mecklenburg County Democratic Women and the Presidential Award from the Black Political Caucus. She has also received awards from the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association and federal government in recognition of her service and contributions.
​
With early voting underway in North Carolina, Connie will share her perspective on the connection between faith, civic responsibility and the importance of making our voices heard.
​
Her guiding principle reflects a lifetime of service: “My guiding principle has always been to serve the greater good, guided by the belief that to whom much is given, much is required.”
​
Join us Sunday for a meaningful conversation about faith, service and civic participation!
