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
Clay County Pro-Life Chapter Ready to Roll Up Their Sleeves
West Virginians for Life President Dr. Wanda Franz, Clay County Chapter Co-Presidents Sharil Rapp and Sheena Rapp-Leedy, WVFL Program Director Mary Anne Buchanan and Josh Leedy (one of Sheen’s five children).
From the WV For Life State Office:
Sheena Rapp-Leedy and her mother Sheril were concerned enough about starting a pro-life chapter in Clay County, that they did something about it on Thursday of this week. Officers will be elected and monthly meetings held in the county seat of Clay, WV, at the next meeting on Thursday, February 4, at the Clay County Public Library. The meeting will take place from 5 – 6 p.m. In addition to the mother/daughter combo and Dr. Wanda Franz and Mary Anne Buchanan of West Virginians for Life, three other adults turned out. They are hopeful to have more at the second meeting. In case of bad weather on the 4th or just to ask questions, call Sheena at 304-587-7620.

FREE Web Sites for WVFL State Chapters
Wanda Franz, President, West Virginians for Life
Pastor Doug Joseph, Harrison County West Virginians for Life
Harrison County WVFL is pleased to announce WVFL Chapters, a website network intended to house sites for each local chapter of West Virginians for Life. The network is the brainchild of Pastor Doug Joseph, of Clarksburg, working in conjunction with Linda Oldack (Harrison County chapter president), also of Clarksburg, and Wanda Franz (WVFL statewide president), of Morgantown. Joseph recently joined the Harrison County chapter’s planning committee, and there it was mentioned that their local chapter was then without any web presence. Joseph, who has extensive experience in web development (as well as in graphic arts), had recently built such a site network for his statewide church organization (the WV District of the United Pentecostal Church International), while he was head of their district missions department (he is now presbyter, serving the section covering north-central WV and the northern panhandle). That network made it possible for the department to offer web services to their member churches. Knowing the same technology could work here, Joseph offered the idea to Oldack at the monthly planning meeting. Soon afterward, Oldack discussed the idea with Franz. Tentative plans are for Joseph to present the full details of the concept to Franz and others in Morgantown, demonstrated by showing a working model of the Harrison County site, which could then be duplicated and edited as needed to create other chapter sites.
