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 Congressman Richard Hudson (last episode)Earlier this week we had the last 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.
On
our last Election Edition of The Voice, we interviewed Congressman
Richard Hudson, who is running for re-election in North Carolina's 8th
Congressional District. Richard is running for his 5th term in
Congress, where he has served the people of Concord and central North
Carolina since 2012.

 2. BREITBART: American Faith Leaders: Barrett 'Dream that today became a reality'"In North Carolina, Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of NC
Values, said Barrett’s confirmation is 'a fulfillment of President
Trump’s promise to appoint pro-life judges who will carry out the
Constitution and laws as written, without contorting the law to reach
a desired outcome.'
'There is no one more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than Justice Barrett,' Fitzgerald added, citing her originalist and textualist judicial foundation. Additionally, however, she said Barrett’s Christian faith and devotion to her family make her an appealing choice. 'Having a mother of seven serve in such a high-profile office is proof that women don’t need abortion to succeed in life,' she said."

5. SPEAKER MOORE: N.C. Lawmakers intervene in education lawsuit to protect school choice during pandemic"Leaders of the North Carolina General Assembly intervened in
ongoing litigation on Monday to protect education access for
working-class families during the pandemic.
The lawsuit legislative leaders are intervening in seeks to eliminate the state’s Opportunity Scholarships for students, which provides income-based scholarships of up to $4,200 for low- and middle-income families to send their child to a school that best fits his or her needs."
 WEEKLY PRAYER: OFFICIALSLORD, you also 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 pray 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
