Dear Church Friend,
We are preparing for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. This is the time of year when we observe the unfortunate court case that led to the legalization of abortion in this country. This is an opportunity for area churches to make their congregations aware of our pregnancy center ministry, so we also have bulletin inserts available for you if you plan to recognize Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
Our banquet speaker this year, Abby Johnson - former abortion center director – now pro-life advocate, reminded local pastors that it's imperative to make a clear stand, from the pulpit, that life is dear. She presented a brief portion of her testimony which included a pro-life stand patterned by her parents but with no real backing by her local church. So when she experienced a crisis pregnancy all she knew to do was to terminate her pregnancy. She asserted that if she had known about pregnancy resource centers like ours she might not have carried out the deed that led to the death of her unborn child.
Mrs. Johnson admonished pastors to make sure each church has an area designated for pregnancy resource center brochures. That way, the churched woman will have a life-affirming place to go to for answers and for hope. (By the way, statistics show that 2 out of 3 churched women have had an abortion.) We've prepared four of our pregnancy center brochures to place in your foyer, back display table or wherever you prefer. They include: a brochure directed to "potential clients", one directed to "potential volunteers /donors", one about our material assistance and earn while you learn program- "The Hope Program" and finally one of our abortion recovery ministries –"Surrendering the Secret".
Please let us know how you would like to
have the Sanctity of Human Life message presented in your church.
May God richly bless you and your congregation,
Gail Duhon
Executive Director
