Thousands of Churches to Join ‘Stand for Marriage Sunday’ on April 26, 2015
April 24, 2015

On April 28, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for and against redefining marriage in America. Though marriage between a man and a woman has existed since the beginning and is the cornerstone of ordered society, the time-honored institution is in serious trouble. Before federal judges began to overturn marriage laws, 30 states had protected natural marriage in their Constitutions. Now the High Court is poised to decide for us all. It is time for our voices to be heard in the Courts of Heaven and the Courts of Public Opinion.
WHAT CAN I DO?
ACTION STEP 1: Host a Stand for Marriage Sunday: Religious Freedom at Risk
On Sunday April 26th, we encourage our entire network of Watchmen pastors and their millions of church members to view a brief video, distribute the Bulletin Insert, and then spend time during worship in focused prayer for the Court and our Country.
