Eureka Springs Calls Election on Ordinance

News media are reporting the Eureka Springs City Council will hold a special election this May to let voters decide whether to keep the city’s controversial “nondiscrimination” ordinance hastily passed earlier this month.

According to reporters, this move preempts the petition process underway in Eureka Springs to repeal the ordinance, and it will give the city council control over the wording of the ballot.

The Conway City Council passed an ordinance earlier this week addressing city employment policies based on sexual-orientation and gender-identity.

Many argue these ordinances will be nullified when Act 137 (formerly known as Senate Bill 202) takes effect later this year.

40 Days for Life Kicks Off in NWA Next Week!

We have written many times about 40 Days for Life. This is an excellent opportunity for Christians to gather outside abortion clinics to pray abortion will end.

Beginning next week, prayer vigils will commence outside abortion clinics nationwide, and the vigils will continue until Easter.

If you live in the Northwest Arkansas area, you can join local pro-life advocates participating in 40 Days for Life. Click here to learn more.

There will also be a 40 Days for Life kickoff rally in Fayetteville next week.

If you live in or around Fayetteville, I hope you will take part in this wonderful effort to end abortion through prayer and the power of God.
