sanctity of human life

August 26 10:30-12:00 organized by Vision 2020 IL, a pro-life unifying organization. Being only privately pro-life costs lives. It’s time to Go Public 4Life!

Roughly 125-150 healthy babies per day are aborted in Illinois. Every Illinois citizen has been forced to subsidize this human rights violation since 2017 by law. Illinois citizens bear some responsibility for abortion culture causes and solutions. Now that abortion is legal, rampant and largely normalized, is it even possible to create a culture that values all human life? Yes, it is. It begins with each person choosing to Go Public 4Life.

College Church is joining this state-wide vigil by participating in prayer, worship, and hearing about the Holy Spirit’s work with other Christians outside Planned Parenthood Aurora. Don’t forget to bring a flower. Flowers remind us that new life is beautiful. It isn’t possible to have too many flowers, and nor is it possible to have too many people. Life in abundance is always beautiful and always good. All flowers will be left at the entrance to clinics, leaving behind a hopeful reminder of the value of life in the womb.

Caring Network Corner

The Coins for Caring Network Baby Bottles campaign surpassed last year’s total! Great work, College Church, as we collected and donated $11,190.93 to fund operating costs. All Caring Network services are free. Caring Network provides free pregnancy services such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, baby supplies, consultations, gospel witness, resources and referrals to meet needs such as employment, housing, and medical care, as well as support and counseling for post-abortive women and men in our community.
