November 1, 2009
The 40 Days for Life Fall 2009 Campaign in Ottawa came to a close this past Sunday with about 120 people attending the closing rally at Ground Zero. There were some very inspiring speeches including the one by Doris, our valiant head Sidewalk Counsellor. The service at St. George's Anglican Church was very prayerful and uplifting with the talented Michael Trolly gracing us with his musical abilities. There was a general sense of peace and resolve emanating from the crowd, and a realization that now that the initial novelty and euphoria has somewhat dissipated, we are now in the "settling in" phase when our perserverance will be tested in the campaigns to come.
