When: Sunday, October 2, 2016 – from 2:00 to 3:00pm
Where: Beside Emily Drive (in the grassy, public right-of-way) at East Pointe shopping center,in Clarksburg, WV.
Who: All Pro-Lifers from both Doddridge County & Harrison County. (This event is sponsored by both counties’ chapters of West Virginians For Life.)
What & Why: This is a public prayer vigil in which Pro-Life people line up alongside a major road, holding signs in defense of preborn babies, and praying for an end to abortion. It lasts about 1 hour, and is a powerful and effective peaceful demonstration that greatly affects the public’s awareness of the issue of abortion.
Note: Feel free to bring baby strollers, lawn chairs, umbrellas, water bottles, etc.
More info:
Some 60 million rejected unborn children have perished by abortion in the United States since 1973. Through the use of science and ultrasound, we know that these children died horrific deaths; none died peacefully during these procedures. Last year, West Virginia passed (for the second time, and then overrode the governor’s second veto of) a ban of abortions after 20 weeks because we know that the unborn child suffers excruciating pain during the abortion procedure. Undercover YouTube videos prove that the barbarous Planned Parenthood turns a continued profit by the selling of aborted babies’ body parts. This year, West Virginia banned the gruesome practice of ripping apart living, preborn babies, limb from limb (which law required the overriding of another veto by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin). We are slowly turning the tide!
The Harrison County & Doddridge County chapters of West Virginians for Life are again organizing participation in the 29th annual National Life Chain that will take place nationwide on October 2, 2016. There will be 12 other life chains participating throughout West Virginia.
Life Chain is a one-hour (60-minutes) silent prayer chain and public witness against abortion. Christians will stand up and pray on behalf of our voiceless preborn citizens and seek God’s divine intervention for the healing of our community and nation and the ultimate end of abortion. This must be done humbly in the true spirit of II Chronicles 7:14.
Because prayer is our most essential weapon, we respectfully ask that you and your congregants join us for these 60 minutes. Please mark this date—October 2, 2016—on your church calendar and help us build a devout prayer vigil that God can use to change hearts and save lives and families in our area.
All participants in this Life Chain will stand beside Emily Drive (in the grassy, public right-of-way) at East Pointe shopping center. Parking is available behind Chick-Fil-A (at Kohl’s). It will be on Sunday, October 2, 2016 from 2:00 pm until 3:00 pm. We will carry signs that read, “Lord, heal our land,” “Pray for an end to abortion,” and “Abortion kills children.” They will be provided for all participants (signs are given out near Chick-Fil-A, and received there for return afterward as well). We welcome any concerns or questions. Feel free to contact us. Also, take note of our websites: harrison.wvforlife.com and doddridge.wvforlife.com
