Day 21: Art for Life, Important Upcoming Events

Over 270 babies reported saved -- that's around 2 for each of our weekly vigil-keepers and a good nursery-full left over for everyone else! Thank you so much for your ongoing prayer and support, and for being a part of this coordinated international prayer effort. Who knows -- the life you save may one day be your own!

I'd like to invite you to participate in two ongoing projects that will be highlighted at our concluding celebration dinner on Sunday, April 1, at St. Lawrence Church on Franconia Road, beginning at 3pm. The first is Hands Around Alexandria which will be the focus of tomorrow's campaign report. The second is Art for Life which I'd like to share with you now:

Art for Life seeks to involve all children in the pro-life movement during these 40 days of our campaign by inviting them to create a drawing, painting, sculpture, or other art form that celebrates God's love for mothers and their pre-born children.

Children can participate through their families at home, school or religion classes, Scout groups, friends, or as individuals wherever they are. Children are asked to bring their artwork to the 40 Days for Life concluding celebration at St. Lawrence Church Hall on Sunday, April 1, from 3-5pm (6222 Franconia Road).

Please encourage any children you know to participate in the Art for Life initiative, and help spread the word to families and groups you know! Thanks for your enthusiasm and support!
