Join the March 8 Prayer Vigil  
 
United Methodist Advocacy in Pennsylvania is calling for United Methodists to join an interfaith prayer vigil on Tuesday, March 8.
 
Gov. Tom Corbett will be unveiling his 2011-2012 state budget proposal to a joint session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. With Pennsylvania facing a $4 billion shortfall, the budget is certain to contain broad cuts in state services.
 
Gov. Corbett and legislators will be making hundreds of moral choices in the coming weeks and months. Those moral decisions add up to a budget that is a moral document.
 
The vigil will be held from 5:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the steps in front of the state Capitol in Harrisburg. The governor's address is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. The public is welcome to participate in the vigil.
 
If  you cannot physically be in Harrisburg, we ask you to set aside time to pray for Gov. Corbett and the members of the General Assembly.  
 
 
In addition to United Methodist Advocacy in Pennsylvania, the Interfaith Justice Coalition is an informal group that includes the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, Pennsylvania Council of Churches, Pennsylvania Jewish Federation, and Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania.
