UPDATE on Channing’s Participation with PATH: Come to Sundays After on Sunday, November 15th at 12:30
Background:
Channing began its involvement in PATH (People Acting Together in Howard) in January of this year, when 14 of you participated in the listening campaign that PATH conducted across Howard County. Over the course of two meetings, members shared their stories and current concerns, as part of PATH’s efforts to develop its agenda to shape this year’s elections and make them about the issues that are most pressing in people’s day-to-day lives.
Alignment with PATH Priorities: A number of the issues identified by Channing members align with the priorities PATH set for this year after hearing from its larger community, namely:
- Affordability – especially housing, but also health care and food costs/insecurity
- Youth – mental health, hope, education
- Immigration
- Division/polarization/cruelty/hate
Next steps: Please come to a Sunday’s After, November 15, 2026 to discuss how we move our concerns forward into action. This conversation will include:
- A quick overview of PATH and its work
- PATH’s relationship with the Maryland Just Power Alliance (MJPA) – which allows PATH to have an impact statewide as well as in Howard County
- Get information and ask questions to help us decide if Channing should join PATH as a congregation.
