Yes, Christmas Tree; Yes, Christmas Wreath
But "NO" to Christian Nativity

On Thursday, August 8, 2019, Shorewood Human Relations Commission members unanimously voted to forward to the Village Board and Business Improvement District board their recommendation that states, "... any religious symbol of the holidays would not be permitted in public buildings and spaces, and would be subject to removal" 

Read more HERE.

Julaine Appling, WFA president, responds, "Shorewood officials need to be careful to not discriminate against religion. The Supreme Court has ruled that holiday displays on public properties can include religious components as long as the religious elements of the display are part of a larger holiday expression—with Christmas trees, Santa Claus, or the like—making the overall effect of the display secular."

If you live in the Shorewood area, make sure to weigh in with your Village Board trustee. Click HERE for the list of Shorewood Board Trustees and contact information.

Is It Time to Renew or Buy One NEW?!

Wisconsin’s Choose Life license plate became a reality and was first available for purchase in late October 2017.  In less than two years, over 1200 of these plates have been sold. The $25 tax-deductible additional fee people pay each year for this plate, goes to Choose Life Wisconsin, which in turn grants the money to pregnancy care centers all over the state. To date, nearly $47,000 has been given to 25 different centers, each of which provides real help and hope to women, their unborn babies and even to men involved in these crisis pregnancies.

Wisconsin Family Council is honored to partner with Pro-Life Wisconsin on this exciting project. Together we house and cover all the overhead costs for Choose Life Wisconsin. Since late May this year  alone, we’ve given out in person $17,000 to twelve pregnancy care centers. More grants will be distributed in November. For details on how you can join this effort, visit chooselifewisconsin.com.


Wisconsin Family Action is 100% pro-life, from conception to natural death. Click HERE to partner with us today for LIFE! 


 

Did you know that last year then-Governor Scott Walker officially declared September 9-15th as "Christian Heritage Week" in Wisconsin? Similar official proclamations have been made in Wisconsin going back at least as far as 1994. If you have school-aged children in your life, ask them if they have heard about "Christian Heritage Week" at school. Sadly, the most likely answer will be "no."

As of today, no proclamation regarding Christian Heritage Week is on Governor Tony Evers' website.

Especially noteworthy, is that September 17th is "Constitution Day." This year marks the 232nd anniversary of the signing of this remarkable document. Find more information on this special day and ideas for sharing its importance with the next generation HERE.

Read the rest of our downloadable "Church Connection" publication HERE. Encourage your church leadership to make these available each month as a bulletin insert or in the church foyer! 
 

Your Help Needed To Protect Religious Freedom

From Family Policy Alliance:
"President Trump’s Department of Labor has proposed a new federal rule that would protect an important aspect of religious freedom. But the rule is not yet finalized and needs public support to be implemented.

"Under the rule, faith-based organizations that contract with the federal government to provide services would be able to 'make employment decisions consistent with their sincerely held religious tenets and beliefs without fear of sanction by the federal government.'"
....
It’s very important that those who value religious freedom make their voice heard in support of this proposed rule before September 16.
