This Is What "Choice" Looks Like

Yesterday a couple heading into Planned Parenthood changed their minds and crossed the street to the Women's Care Center.  A sidewalk counselor pointed out to them that "a wonderful facility is across the street."  We normally have time for just a few words when patrons drive into that parking lot but what an impact they can make!  After meeting with the staff, they moved their car to the WCC parking lot with smiles on their faces and returned for consultation.  We don't always know the outcome of these events but this one certainly sounds promising....

Volunteers Needed:
Responses to the call for more volunteers are trickling in but, with only weeks to go before the start of 40 Days for Life, we are far short of the numbers needed. 

Do you have a computer and a telephone?  Then you could be a vigil captain, making calls to sign up prayer warriors for hours outside Planned Parenthood.

Do you have a liaison at your parish to get the word out about 40 Days for Life?  You could be that important person to bring new people from your church out to pray.

Do you have a telephone?  Then you could make calls to invite participants from last year's 40 Days to come out and pray again.  We have a script prepared for you!

Do you have some flexibility in your schedule?   Then you could be on our day/night emergency call list in case an hour needs filling.

Do you have ideas on how best to promote 40 Days for Life to other Christian organizations?  Then you could be on the Outreach Team.
Please consider these opportunities to answer God's call to serve.

Sign Up Now for 40 Days for Life

It's not too early to sign up for your hours!  Our calendar is still on the 365 for Life schedule but, when you choose your day/hours for 40 Days, it will be reflected on the 40 Days schedule when we begin on Wed., Sept. 26th.  So save our volunteers some phone calls and make your choices now! 

How about groups and parishes who can fill blocks of time?  We already have one parish who has committed to a day and block of hours.  This helps so much!  40 Days for Life in Green Bay has all of their hours filled right now because various groups and parishes have signed up for blocks of vigil hours.  How amazing that would be if we could do that here!  Pray that our Madison area will respond like this.
