Friend,
Welcome to the Friday Five! Every Friday we share our top five
articles, stories, and quotes for you to read and share with your
friends and church families.
 1. NC VALUES VOICE: Live with candidate for NC House 103, Bill Brawley, and our NC Values endorsementEarlier this week we had another episode
of “The NC Values Voice”, a weekly 30-minute interview by Executive
Director, Tami Fitzgerald, with a special guest. The NC Values Voice
aired on Facebook Live and www.ncvalues.org/voice
on Wednesday night at 7:30pm. Our goal with these programs is to
inform and motivate our statewide coalition members with current,
relevant information.
This week’s episode of The Voice we featured Bill Brawley,
Republican candidate for NC House District 103. Bill Brawley is
running to get his old seat back in the North Carolina House of
Representatives. Bill represented this district for 8 years before
losing the seat last election to Rachel Hunt, the daughter of former
Democrat Governor Jim Hunt, by 68 votes. The district sits in
Mecklenburg County, covering parts of southeast Charlotte, Mint Hill,
and Matthews.

him at https://www.ncvalues.org/nc_values_voice_live_with_mark_robinson
 2. NC VALUES PAC VIDEO: I Exist—Born Alive Survivor StoryAs a society, we cannot condone infanticide in North Carolina.
Who wouldn’t protect innocent newborn babies?
Governor Cooper made it clear that he wouldn’t. Governor Cooper
said the situation where a baby is actually born during a failed
abortion “simply does not exist.” Fortunately, a brave young abortion
survivor—a young woman born when her mother attempted to abort her—has
stepped forward to tell the truth.
Do you believe we should support a New York-style late term
abortion bill as proposed by top N.C. Democrats in the past?
 
3. NC VALUES: Special rebroadcast of the Carolina Values Summit 2020 on 9/27 at 7pmJoin us for a special rebroadcast at 7pm on 9/27 of the Carolina
Values Summit 2020, a ground-breaking online summit for Christian
leaders featuring an impressive lineup of speakers who will equip you
to resist growing attacks on religious freedom.
4. DAILY SIGNAL: Trump to Sign ‘Born Alive’ Executive Order to Protect Abortion Survivors"President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will sign an
executive order to ensure that babies who are born alive receive
proper medical care.
Although the president didn’t go into detail about what the order
would do, proposals earlier this year in the House and Senate would
require health care professionals to treat a baby born alive after an
attempted abortion the same as medical professionals would treat any
other newborn.
'I will always defend the sacred right to life,' Trump said in
remarks at the 16th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, held
virtually this year.
'Today I am announcing that I will be signing the "born alive"
executive order to ensure that all precious babies born alive—no
matter their circumstances—receive the medical care that they
deserve,' the president said. 'This is our sacrosanct moral
duty.'"
5. POLITICO: Romney backs vote on Supreme Court nominee clearing way for Trump"A Baltimore County family is warning other parents after they
say police were called to their house over something that happened
during a virtual school lesson. The incident is raising concerns over
privacy and safety in the era of online learning.
As a Navy veteran with four years of active duty, Courtney
Lancaster has extensive knowledge of guns, how to use them and how to
store them. . . .
'So, I answered the door. The police officer was, he was very
nice. He explained to me that he was coming to address an issue with
my son's school,' Courtney told Project Baltimore. 'And then explained
to me that he was here to search for weapons, in my home. And I
consented to let him in. And then I, unfortunately, stood there and
watched police officers enter my 11-year-old son's
bedroom.'"

 WEEKLY PRAYER: OFFICIALSLORD, you have instructed us to pray for our governing
officials, and we come to you in the spirit of this petition. We pray
for our national government and its executive, legislative, and
judicial servants. May they indeed be servants unto the people, and
govern in a manner that protects liberty and virtue. In the same
spirit, we pay for public servants across our state and local
governments. May they all heed your mandate in Romans 13:4 to be in
positions of authority as "God's servant" and for the "good" of the
public. They govern in what we confess are difficult times. Between
the COVID-19 pandemic, the civic unrest, the hostile political
climate, and the opposition of international opponents such as China,
they are much in need of your incalculable wisdom. May they plead with
you to give it to them, and may your grace respond in
kind.
Sincerely, North Carolina Values Coalition
