UPDATE: On July 22, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Cedar Park has a legitimate case against the State of Washington. The court affirmed that the church suffered a free-exercise injury due to the government’s pro-abortion law.

“No church should be forced to cover abortions, certainly not a church like Cedar Park that dedicates its ministry to protecting and celebrating life,” said ADF Legal Counsel Elissa Graves. “We are pleased with the Ninth Circuit rightly recognized the harm that Washington state has inflicted on Cedar Park Church in subjecting it to this unprecedented mandate.”

Please continue to pray for Cedar Park Church as the case now goes back to the district court.

Prayer Requests:

Judicial

Pray that the district court will take direction from the U.S. Ninth Circuit’s ruling and hold that Cedar Park Church is free to operate according to its faith without being threatened with government punishment.

Legislative

Pray that God will raise up faithful Christians to run for office in the Washington State Legislature.

Cultural

Pray that the persecution of Cedar Park because of its participation in God’s redemptive story for mothers and babies spreads to audiences nationwide. Pray that this religious targeting will turn out for the furtherance of the Gospel. (Philippians 1:12)

Church

Pray that the Church is inspired to imitate Cedar Park’s pro-life ministry.
