Sidewalk Counselor Training Scheduled!

This Saturday, January 22, 2011, we will stand witness and remember the 53 million babies killed by abortion in the United States, abortion which is not safe, legal or rare. Do not let Saturday pass without praying for an end to the horrors of abortion and for the healing in our country through God's Mercy. Besides your prayers from wherever you are, please consider the following items.

Help needed FRIDAY for "365 for Life" initiative

Our stalwart sidewalk counselor who comes out every Friday afternoon will be traveling to Washington D.C. for the March for Life this week. And so, we need help in Madison on Friday (01/21/11). We need 1 more person to pray at 1:00 p.m. and 2 more people to pray at 2:00 p.m. If you are able to lend a hand this Friday, please sign up at reitzinternet.com/vfl/monthview or call Laura Karlen at 608-445-2064. We also need 2 people for next Tuesday for the 2-hour stretch (9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.).

Roe v. Wade Vigil with Fr. William Vernon Saturday!

William Vernon lead us in prayer on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood (3706 Orin Road, Madison, WI 53704) on Saturday, 01/22/11 at 1:00 p.m.to commemorate 38 years since the Roe v. Wade decision. We Americans have been wandering in the desert for 38 years... let the Lord use us to lead our country out of the desert! Join us on the sidewalks!
