This Lent... Save a Life!

Join us as we offer up a Friday night youth group in prayer to end abortion. It's only an hour of your time, but the power of prayer cannot be overestimated! This is a great opportunity as we near the end of Lent to fully participate in this time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. 


On March 22, 2013 We will meet at SCL at 7pm IN THE CHURCH for Stations of the Cross, and leave promptly after to carpool to Silver Spring (Planned Parenthood, 1400 Spring St, Silver Spring). We will return by 9pm. Chaperone drivers are needed- please contact Kelsey asap.

TEENS MUST HAVE A PERMISSION SLIP, which you can find here or by following the link on the left. 

"40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion.
The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion.

The 40 Days for Life campaign
40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:
       Prayer and fasting
       Peaceful vigil
       Community outreach

40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion.
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge."
