Pray for Hobby Lobby

Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood will go before the Supreme Court in defense of their right to operate their business in accordance with their faith, a concept that is a long held American tradition and protected by the Constitution.
Hobby Lobby and other family businesses have refused to comply with HHS regulations that mandate they offer insurance policies that include abortifacient drugs. If they lose this case, they will be forced to pay $1.3 million in punitive fines per day or cancel the healthcare coverage for all their employees.
According to a poll commissioned by Family Research Council and Alliance Defending Freedom, 59% of likely voters disapprove of the HHS Mandate (including 54% of women ages 18-44!). These numbers are further evidence of a nation that has a deep desire to maintain the religious liberty that has been integral to the functioning of this nation since its inception.
It is imperative that Americans now stand together in support of religious liberty-as envisioned by our founders, and guaranteed by our Constitution.

FRC will be on the steps of the Supreme Court standing alongside the courageous Green family. Although we understand that not everyone may be able to do this, there are ways that you can show your support for religious liberty right where you are:
• First and foremost, please pray for the Green family and those involved in their litigation.
• Join us on March 29, for #HobbyLobbyDay by RSVPing to this Facebook event.
• Add this banner to your Facebook or Twitter profile to show your support for Hobby Lobby.
Finally, we want to extend a special thanks to Mike Huckabee for helping to underscore the the importance of this case and our religious freedom. Watch Governor Huckabee talk about #HobbyLobbyDay in the following clip.

Thank you again for your support and prayers as we advance faith, family and freedom.
For Their Lives,

Joshua Duggar
Executive Director

Meals for Mary Ann Tkach

Many of you know the Tkach’s who have faithfully served our church so faithfully and especially our youth. Mary Ann Tkach has breast cancer and just started her chemotherapy treatments this past Monday.
We would like to bless our dear friend with meals as they are walking through this journey.
The Tkach family will need meals for four people. Mary Ann, Mr. Fred, and at least two of her five children will be there most of the time. Her youngest child is 16, so prepare enough to feed four adults. The Tkachs are not particular eaters, and I am sure the teen and young adult children would love dessert. Meals can be delivered between 4 and 5 pm.
If you would like to help us to bless this family, please sign up to take meals here: http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=CSRE5256 The password is BeStill.
The meal coordinator Kristie Schubert  843-592-0528.
Thank you so much!

CHEC Canceled 2014 – Book Sale Possible

I got an email today from someone inquiring about the details for the conference. It occurred to me that there is nothing on the CBCCA site referencing it this year, so I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still not holding the conference this year:  http://checonference.com/2013/08/26/chec-2014-canceled/.

There are a couple of people working on organizing a used book sale, but this is still not a definite, so I will update here when details become available.

Thanks for all of your support and encouragement for Joyce and I over the past eight months.

Law Being Considered to Require Admitting Privileges

FYI
From Charles Cox –
Sponsored by SEN Lee Bright, who is challenging Lindsey Graham for his US Senate seat this year.  This bill is similar to those passed recently in TX and MS, and is being considered in other conservative states.  I just thought that I would pass it on.  Anyhow, check it out here:
