Missouri Net News [link removed] Grace Over Greed
From the General Board of Church and Society
Since returning from August recess, The United States Congress has managed to avoid a government shutdown by passing a three-month continuing resolution. The Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act extends funding for all 12 annual spending bills through December 20, 2024. While this continuing resolution will allow the federal government to maintain operations, Congress must complete its work on determining funding levels for fiscal year 2025. The House has passed five of 12 spending bills on party-line votes and the Senate has advanced 11 of 12 spending bills out of committee with bipartisan support.
As the House and Senate prepare to negotiate spending bills, we must ensure that the needs and interests of God’s people and God’s good creation are protected. In the coming months, we will continue to advocate across all five of Church and Society’s legislative priorities of health, poverty, peace, climate, and civil and human rights. Stay on the lookout for new action alerts ahead of the December 20th budget deadline. May our collective and continued charge be fueled by our Wesleyan heritage and theology – that the abundance of grace never be overshadowed by the greed of power.
