ONLY 70% FILLED WEDNESDAY--AN ABORTION DAY

 DAVID AND GOLIATH

In Steve Karlen's speech at our volunteer organizational meeting - he
likened us to David and Planned Parenthood to Goliath. Due to our
small stature, we cannot take down the giant abortion-minded
organization that is Planned Parenthood in the secular public arena
over which it has control however we can do it somewhat covertly - one
mother and one baby at a time!

Please bring your prayers to the sidewalk this week!

VIGIL FOR LIFE - MADISON - 40 DAYS FOR LIFE FALL CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEERS
STILL NEEDED!

It's time to start planning for our fall 2014 40 Days for Life
campaign!

(It runs from Wednesday, September 24, 2014 to Sunday, November 2,
2014.)

Thank you to all who attended our volunteer organizational meeting on
7/24. A special thanks goes to Steve Karlen - North American Outreach
Director for 40 Days for Life. He gave us lots of great tips on what
works and what doesn't work when recruiting new people to join a 40
Days for Life campaign:

What works:

1. Personally invite people you know

2. Be direct in your recruiting (In person communication first, phone
second)

3. Be specific

4. Challenge participants

5. Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up

What doesn't work:

1. Relying on Pastors or parishes to get the word out and to fill
hours

2. Being too vague in recruiting

3. Relying too much on publicity or social media

Thanks, too, to those of you who have already volunteered your time
and talent for the campaign. For those of you who have not been
discerned where your time and talent can best be used - we still have
the following volunteer opportunities available:

1. Volunteer Caller - Personally invite past participants to join this
year's 40 Days for Life.

2. Vigil Captain - Watch the vigil calendar throughout the week
leading up to your chosen one day of the week to ensure that each hour
is covered.

3. Outreach - Personally invite other churches and organizations that
are not currently participating in 40 Days for Life.

4. Emergency Prayer Warrior - Give availability to cover hours either
during the day or night after all other coverage options have been
exhausted.

5. Sleep No More Coordinator - Work with Curt Jacobsen to ensure that
all of the overnight hours (6p-8a) are covered by men.

To sign up for the above positions in support of this fall's 40 Days
for Life campaign - please call Gwen Finnegan at (608)393-8545 or
e-mail her at info@vigilforlife.org.

ST. LUKE'S RESPECT LIFE PRAYER

(St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church, Palm Harbor, FL)

O Blessed Mother,

Pray for us your children

That we may be strong against the forces of death.

Look down upon the babies not allowed to be born,

On the poor, on the victims of social injustice,

On the elderly and sick killed by the indifference or misguided mercy.

Help us appreciate the miracle of life as a gift from God,

And may we become a PEOPLE OF LIFE!

Amen.
