Faithful Budget Prayer Vigil - October 18, 2011

Interfaith prayer vigils are being held every Tuesday in front of the United Methodist Building. A Congressional "Super Committee" has been charged with finding $1.2 trillion to cut from the federal budget by November 23. This could impact every federal program under the sun: Social Security, Medicare, services that feed the poor, foreign aid, the military, tax breaks and more. These cuts would be coming at a time when the U.S. poverty rate is at a 45 year high and one in eight people live in poverty.
