40 Days for Life Kickoff Rally--Wednesday, September 26th

Please mark your calendars for the Kick-Off Rally for 40 Days for Life on Wednesday, September 26th.  Come join us for food, fellowship, and prayer led by Bishop Morlino and Father Rick Heilman at St. Mary's Pine Bluff (3673 County Road P, Cross Plains).  Arrive between 6:00 and 6:30pm, with dinner at 6:30pm.  If possible, please bring a dessert or side dish to pass.  Come see the beautiful Rosary Garden dedicated to the preborn! 

Thank you, Volunteers!  More Needed!
Last week several volunteers signed on to vigil captain, emergency hours contacts, and volunteer caller positions. Thank you for answering this call! 

• We now have 2 vigil captains for each of the following days:  Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Fantastic! 
• We have 1 captain for Sunday, 1 for Monday, and 1 for Friday; can you be a helper on one of these days?  
• We have NO captain for Tuesday.  Please consider this; we're talking about 5 Tuesdays to fill!
  

Are you new to 40 Days for Life? 
Watch this video created by one of our veteran prayer warriors 3 years ago to see the respect of participants and how more people are needed for this just cause.  It is 10 minutes long and features highlights of 40 days vigils.
