Here are your recent highlights from our leadership team:
- #1) Prayer -- Claire and Marie have helped formulate a "40 Days for Life prayer intention," which we can include in our daily prayer time, or suggest to our priests, pastors or prayer group leaders! The intention can be modified if needed, but our suggested wording is as follows:
For the 40 Days for Life campaign from September 28-November 6,
that there will be an increase in vigil and outreach prayer volunteers
to pray for an end to abortion,
and for healing from the effects of abortion.
- #2) Vigil Presence -- Mary Ellen has signed up two more churches on our vigil calendar: St. Mary Church on Saturday, October 15, and Saturday, November 5, and St. Raymond of Penafort on Friday and Saturday, September 30-October 1 as well as Fridays from 11am-1pm. We welcome these two churches on board!
We invite other churches and groups prayerfully to consider making a weekly commitment to the vigil during the six weeks of the campaign. Vigil commitment can be a great blessing to the community as well as to each of the individuals involved. Through our peaceful presence, we bring the peace and love of Christ to a place where it is desperately needed.
In addition to Mary Ellen's work, Keith and I have been busy reaching out to representatives from various congregations, and we are confident that our list of committed churches will continue to expand!
- #3) Community Outreach -- Paul and Jonathan have begun reaching out to local businesses and youth groups, and contacting door-to-door team members from our previous campaign. Eric and Tracie have been very busy behind the scenes with research, promotion and communications including our first press release, which we hope to distribute shortly!
