Family Council Hosts Pastor’s Day at the Capitol 2024

On Tuesday Family Council hosted Pastor’s Day at the Capitol 2024. Church leaders and elected officials gathered in the Rotunda of the Arkansas Capitol Building for prayer and worship and to hear special messages.

This annual, nonpartisan event focuses on worshiping God, praying for our leaders, ministering to those in authority, fostering better relationships between ministers and legislators, practicing responsible citizenship, and learning how congregations can do the same.

Imagine the echo of worship—the prayers of godly men and women—the Gospel openly proclaimed in Arkansas’ most prominent place—the State Capitol Building!

That’s why we tell people Pastor’s Day at the Capitol is one of the best things we do all year.

We appreciate everyone who joined us for this special day — especially Bishop Silas Johnson, Treasurer Larry Walther, Sen. Kim Hammer, Gov. Sarah Sanders, and our many other guests. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Planned Parenthood PAC Shows No Activity in Arkansas for First Three Months of 2024

Planned Parenthood’s political action committee (PAC) conducted virtually no activity in Arkansas during the first three months of the year, according to reports filed with the Secretary of State on Monday.

Planned Parenthood has long been the nation’s leading abortion provider, and its PAC has a history of supporting pro-abortion candidates in Arkansas.

However, the group has been unusually quiet this election season, conducting virtually no political activity in Arkansas this year.

The PAC currently has $11,721 on hand that it could give to candidates ahead of the elections in November.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been reversed and abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, groups like Planned Parenthood are turning their attention toward state elections and legislation.

With that in mind, Planned Parenthood could use its PAC in Arkansas to try to influence public policy or public opinion on abortion in the coming months.
