This year’s Offering of Letters will span four topics—food systems, climate change, economic justice, and racial and gender equity. Hundreds of Offerings are held each year, resulting in tens of thousands of letters to Congress. Supported with prayer, these letters are a bold witness to God’s justice and mercy.
