• Courtesy Announcement

Dear Friends,
I know I've sent you several emails within the past few days but there is good news to report once again!  With the 40th anniversary of the sorrowful Roe vs. Wade decision, this story gives hope that one day the holocaust will end. 
This past Friday, through the work of the Holy Spirit, sidewalk counselors convinced a woman to turn away from the Planned Parenthood abortion mill and go across the street to the Women's Care Center!  When she completed her session with them, she returned to thank the sidewalk counselors for their prayers and their help.  She is 4 weeks pregnant and very happy, very thankful for the excellent care and help she received at the Women's Care Center.  Praise God!  Please keep her and her child in your prayers.  "The Lord hears the cry of the poor....blessed be the Lord!"
