What/ When is Life Chain

Life Chain Documents: |
witness of pro-life Americans standing on a
public highway for an hour and a half with signs
proclaiming Abortion Kills Children, Abortion
Hurts Women, Jesus Forgives and Heals and
other messages.
Life Chains have been held each October
throughout the U.S. and Canada for over 20
years. (Primary date is the first Sunday of
October, alternate dates may be chosen locally.)
It is a visual statement of solidarity by our local Christian community that abortion
is grievously wrong and that the church Christ founded is opposed to the
unmerciful killing of unborn children. It is an opportunity for the participants to
join together in prayer for conversion of abortionists and all who defend them, for
an end to legal abortion in our nation, and for Gods use of our witness to change
hearts in our local community. In 2011, over 1500 cities and towns held Life Chains
in over 1700 locations. Approximately 900 people participated in our area.

Church Involvement:
Life Chain is a church-based activity. It is the pastors and other members of each participating church who publicize the event and encourage participation among their members. In your church would like to be involved, please contact us - we would be happy to include you. While this is a Christian-led activity, and some signs refer to Jesus and Lord, members of any faith, or of no faith, who wish to join us in a witness proclaiming the truth about abortion are welcome to participate.
Individuals who wish to participate on their own are of course also welcome.
