Sunday October 12 - The Courts

Election season is upon us.

On October 12th and 19th, the social issues class will be addressing some of the election candidates this Fall. We scheduled it this early because there are many early voters in the class. If you have already used your mail in ballot privilege, we are too late.
On the 12th we will cover some of the general state elections and in particular the Texas Supreme Court . Central Presbyterian's own John Harmon will join us to talk about the role of the Supreme Court in Texas. (On the 19th we will look at local house and senate and county offices; I am looking for volunteers to cover such elections. See issues from Jim's email ).
