Pastors For Family Values invites you to a Complimentary Pastor Breakfast
Spring Hill Suites by Marriott, 6350 Newtown Road. Norfolk, VA 23502
8:00 – 10:00 AM To RSVP call Vanessa 804-343-0010
Recently a Wisconsin-based anti-Christian group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation in association with the ACLU, demanded that Chesapeake City Council cease it’s time honored tradition of opening council session with an uncensored prayer.
These organizations threatened legal action for “the unlawful act” despite the fact the US Supreme Court has consistently affirmed the right to this type of prayer and that invocations in no way violate the First Amendment of The US Constitution.
The Family Foundation (TFF) immediately offered our support and encouragement to Mayor Krasnoff and the members of council. Additionally, our partner organization, the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has offered to represent the City of Chesapeake pro-bono should a lawsuit arise from the adoption of an “invocations policy” that supports uncensored prayer.
This Thursday morning, August 20th, The Family Foundation in association with our clergy partners, Pastors For Family Values, will be hosting a breakfast meeting for our local pastors and church leaders. I know that the time demands of your ministry are significant and that your schedule is void of too many free moments. But I pray that you will consider attending this very important event. It will be a wonderful time of fellowship, prayer and instruction.
Bishop Earl Jackson from Exodus Faith Ministries will serve as emcee and Dr. Rick Scarborough from Vision America will be our keynote speaker. Senior Pastor of Rock Church Anne Gimenez will be offering the invocation. We will be discussing ways to “confront the culture” that is seeking to stifle religious freedom and addressing specific threats that we face in our very own community. This event is open to all area pastors so please feel free to pass this information on to anyone who would be interested in joining us.
