Their website-SEE LINK BELOW-informs Presbyterians and all others of the details and consequences of proposed and existing laws. For a complete update of all C&S Mission Team work at their website:

The C&S Mission Team has just completed a thorough summary of FISCAL ISSUES. This includes a clearly understood summary of the 2009 PROPOSED STATE BUDGET and likely implications of budget proposals. The C&S Mission Team continues to track the effects of cuts in low-income healthcare, services for the disabled and support for higher education. Another issue they regularly report on is predatory lending in Missouri.
In late 2007 the Church & Society Mission Team mailed a questionaire to all Pastors, Sessions and Boards of Deacons within the Presbytery. Their objective was to gather information and opinions about what issues are most crucial to Presbyterians in Mid-Missouri. In order to make your voice heard, please return these if you have not already done so.
To review specific C&S Mission Team topics and action plans, please see additional posting on this forum or link to their website above.
The C&S Mission Team’s next meeting is Sunday, July 13, 2008, 2:30 PM at FPC Columbia, 16 Hitt Street in downtown Columbia.
