A current project by John Trandem with Citizens United to End Abortion (facebook group) is raising money for flags to hang downtown for a "Celebrate Life" week. Not only to celebrate the life that begins with conception but all life! From youngsters to moms & dads and grandmas and grandpas.
Last Wednesday, September 23rd, 40 Days for Life began their non-stop prayer vigil outside the Red River Women's Clinic, the only provider for abortion in our state. Since they need volunteers around the clock to stand outside and peacefully prayer, please consider donating even an hour of your time toward that end by calling 701-356-7979 or signing up on their website: 40daysforlifend.com. This project is ongoing until October 31st. What a fantastic way to represent life.
On Saturday, September 25th, First Choice Clinic of Fargo sponsored a Life Walk. It was picked up in several locations across the state including, Devil's Lake, Rugby, & Bismarck. Couples, famlies, moms with strollers, wagons, and kids participated in the Walk for Life at many parks including Lindenwood in Fargo.
Also on Saturday the Hankinson Teens for Life group participated in the town's celebration of Oktoberfest. They raised money for the pro-life cause by face-painting, pumpkin painting (a real hit) and selling homemade cookies, caramels, bumper stickers, and baby hands and feet pins. They were excited about their turnout.
On Sunday, September 26th, over 800 participants joined Bp. Samuel Aquila in a Walk with Christ for Life. They stopped in front of the Red River Women's Clinic for prayer.
Please keep all involved in these workings in your thoughts and prayers as we work toward the end of abortion not only in the physical sense but also in the hearts and minds of our citizens.
