A few weeks ago there was a shocking story that came out of the state of Florida concerning two men who were under criminal contempt charges, for simply praying over a meal. In the last few weeks many have rallied to the side of these men, and you can read one story here .
Today I wanted to let you know that tomorrow this principal and an athletic director in Florida are facing criminal contempt charges for asking someone to pray over a meal. The two men face fines, jail time, and loss of their retirement benefits for allegedly violating a court order prohibiting prayer.
Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman will face trial this Thursday, September 17th.
Congressman Randy Forbes, Founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, spoke on the criminalization of prayer in America on the House Floor last night. In case you missed it, use the link below to watch his speech:

Please take some time to pray for the Lord's will be to done in this situation, and ask others to also. Thanks!
