Bring Yourself to the Sidewalk and Bring a Friend

 "Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment." (Joel 2:12 - 13)
A beautiful arrangement of Hosea by a beautiful artist:
 
The season of Lent will be soon upon us.  Let us return to Jesus with all our hearts!  Along with our other Lenten plans let's add to our plans to come out to pray on the sidewalk outside Planned Parenthood!  In addition to our presence there - as part of our Lenten plans let's also invite a friend to join us in prayer on the sidewalk each time we go out.

BUFFER ZONE ORDINANCE UPDATE
 
Judge Conley denied our request for a Temporary Restraining Order so the buffer zone gag rule ordinance will be in effect very soon.  Although we know that any restriction on the freedom of speech is an erosion of it as protected by the First Amendment, we trust God to guide us through this situation and the case as it continues. When the ordinance does go into effect, Gwen will call those on the schedule for the week to discuss its impact.  In the meantime, if there are any questions - please do not hesitate to call Gwen at (608)393-8545 or e-mail her at info@vigilforlife.org.
