It’s that time of year again, the first Sunday in October. It’s Lifechain Sunday, a nationwide demonstration against abortion. Polls reveal that most Americans oppose abortion.

We invite you to join us as we stand along State Street with signs and pray. What do we pray? Individuals have their personal conversations with God, but mostly we pray for mothers who will be considering abortion. We ask for life for the little ones within them. We pray that the moms will understand how much God loves them, and their babies. We hope these mothers will chose life for their little ones. We pray for peace and forgiveness for those who chose abortion and suffer decades of grief for their loss. (Loving assistance is available at Options Pregnancy Center on Chisholm Street).

We pray that God Almighty will help us stop this loss of innocent lives. We pray that God will forgive us for allowing over 60 million of these deaths. So many amazing people who never got a chance to live life. One-third of the millennial generation is gone.

Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”

The blood of these little ones cries out from the ground. Someone will answer to Almighty God for this. We believe it will be all those who did nothing to stop it.

Please pray with all your heart, and join us if you can, from 2 to 3 p.m. at Bob’s Muffler on U.S.-23 South.
