the importance of building a community
that is willing to support those most in need.
Sadly, a “culture of
perfection” in the
United States has
led to an abortion
rate of 85% for
babies diagnosed
with Down
Syndrome in
utero, which
means that the large majority of these
beautiful babies are never carried to term.
But, in truth, every life is a gift and
abortion takes the life of a unique and
unrepeatable individual. What is really
needed is education about Down
Syndrome and the many wonderful
resources that are available for expectant
families who have received this news.
March 23rd is our day to cover
prayer at the abortion clinic.
We need you and your prayers.
Every Life is a Gift, a gift from God.
Our time is a PEACEFUL time of prayer.
Consider an hour, two or three!
Come as a family or as a group.
