A unique approach to ending abortion
From February 25 - April 5, our community will be one of more than 130 communities in 42 U.S. states, four Canadian provinces – and Australia – that are joining together for the 40 Days for Life campaign.
40 Days for Life is an intensive effort designed to raise awareness, save lives, bring healing, and lead our nation to repentance for the sin of abortion through three components:
-
40 days of prayer and fasting
-
40 days of peaceful vigil
-
40 days of community outreach
Learn more about the national 40 Days for Life campaign.
1. Pray and fast
Christ told us that some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. The two go hand in hand. Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God's will. Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God's help. Fasting is not a Christian diet; it is a form of physical prayer. You can fast from food, TV, alcohol ... anything that separates you from God.
Each day between now and the end of the campaign, please commit to pray and fast for the nationwide effort, and for the efforts here in our city.

6. Participate in Community Outreach!
This fall we are expanding outreach! Outreach is the third component of 40 Days for Life. It involves door belling the businesses and homes around the vigil site, inviting people to pray with us, and educating the community about the tragedy of abortion. Official outreach times are Friday and Saturday mornings during the campaign from 10 am - 12 pm starting from the vigil site. For more information, contact us using the information given below.
7. Participate in Life Chain
There will a Life Chain held around the block of the Planned Parenthood vigil site on October 4, 2009.
"Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing for one hour praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception."
