Daylight Savings Time Ends - "Fall Back"

Do NOT forget to change your clocks BEFORE you go to bed on Saturday night!  

At 2:00am we "fall back" one hour to Central Standard Time.  This is especially important for those who are signed up for prayer hours in the wee hours of Sunday morning!  Please make a special note of this so that we have all hours covered and others are not stranded to cover your hour(s).

Stories to Tell?

If you have experiences to share during this fall campaign of babies saved, turnaways from Planned Parenthood, and even the "not-so-good" elements of your prayer hours, please send them in reply to this email.  Now that our vigil is winding down in just a few days, it would be a good time to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly....

Egg-Throwing Incident

Last Monday night some hecklers drove by those praying out at Planned Parenthood, at first yelling derogatory comments and then circling around the block and throwing eggs.  Fortunately, they missed our people but, unfortunately, hit another man's car.  The police were called and information on the egg-throwing car was relayed to the authorities.  If you have incidents such as this occur during your prayer hour(s), you have every reason to call the police since you have a right to be out there.  The police have been very good at responding; be sure you are always following the Rules of the Road and the oaths you took in signing the Statement of Peace (both are in the vigil bag).  Be polite but know your rights.  Pray for the angry, hurting hecklers!
