Get informed and do something!
We at Germantown Mennonite Church believe universal healthcare is an expression of what the Bible teaches--caring for the least of the least--and of our deeply-held American values of sharing and compassion.
We invite other faith communities to join us in an informed discussion and active pursuit calling on our elected officials to do the right thing.
