From Brenda,
Dear pro-life prayer warriors,
Thanks for supporting life, from it’s very beginning to natural death.
Julie and I went to the Summer Symposium for 40 Days for Life and returned on Aug 9th. It was so inspirational!! We are charged up and ready to get geared up for our next campaign at Lilith, starting Sept 22nd, and ending Oct 31st.
Please save the following dates and mark them on your calendar:
1) 40 Days for Life Opening Rally / Prayer vigil Saturday, Sept 18th, at 2 pm at 340 NE Clackamas St (Aquinas Hall). Portland, 97232.
We decided not to have the Opening vigil at Lilith. There were time constraints, safety concerns, and parking issues at Lilith. Plus we have a lot of great prizes you can win by signing up for vigil hours at Lilith. Therefore, we needed tables to put them on, and lots of room. It will be easier for the speakers also, as they won’t have to shout to be heard over construction noise.
2) 40 Days for Life Opening Mass. Catholics and Protestants are all welcome.
Sunday, Sept 12th 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary’s Cathedral 1716 NW Davis. 97209
The Archbishop will celebrate Mass with Msgr. Gerard O’Connor and Fr. Charles McCoy.
Some of the prizes will be:
The new book Shawn Carney and Steve Karlan wrote: “What to say When…..” The complete new guide to discussing abortion. With family members, acquaintances, etc in a matter-of-fact manner. The Heart of the Matter–a beautiful devotional book. If this book doesn’t get you inspired to pray more for an end to abortion, nothing will! It’s fantastic.
The DVD of “UnPlanned” Plus, hats, sweatshirts, tee shirts (long and short-sleeved), water bottles.
And last but not least, a cowboy hat from Houston!
Stay tuned for the flyers with more details.
