- March for Life - Join us for a road trip to Washington, D.C. for the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. The January 22 March for life provides us with a crucial opportunity to witness our elected leaders the need to restore rights to our unborn brothers and sisters. This pilgrimage is "multi-generational" and is like a pro-life conference on wheels with time for education, prayer, and socializing. In the past we've taken one adult bus, two high school buses, and one junior high bus. Please join us! You'll never forget the experience! Watch www.respectlifemissouri.org for details.
- There is a youth Pro-Life Boot Camp in Texas at the end of July. Click here for all the details! They have an awesome lineup of speakers and activities planned. Pro-Life Boot Camp will include daily Mass, praise and worship, prayer time at abortion centers, and the creation and performance of fun pro-life skits. The service project will be to collect baby items for families in need, and to have a baby shower for the local pregnancy help center and two families. If you are interested in donating money for a scholarship for a young person, please contact Adrienne Doring!
- Sidewalk counseling is organized at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic at 435 & Roe in Overland Park, Kansas. Sidewalk counselors are there every Saturday morning starting at 6:45 a.m., along with a support team of pray-ers. As more people join the effort, more days of the week can be covered, and more lives can be saved! Please contact lifefront@gmail.com for more information.
- Wash for life is an annual pro-life youth event. On the same day, groups of youth all over the country hold a car wash in their own home town and donated the money to a local Pregnancy Care Center. This way, they participate in a national event while at the same time helping their own community. This year's Wash for Life will be on September 19th. Visit their website for more information and to sign up!
