Allow us to Announce Your Pro-Life Prayer Gathering Here

Gather together to Pray to End Abortion!   When you have plans, let us know and we’ll let others know through our updates.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 1: Matthew 1 – 7 (including: Matt 6:16-18)
When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen. I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.

Matthew assumes that we will fast, that fasting is an obvious component of our following Christ, and yet we are not to do so in a manner that makes a big deal of ourselves in the process. Can you find something in your life that doesn’t give Glory and Honor to God and abstain from this earthly pleasure for the duration of the 40 Day campaign?

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign. To get the complete 40 Days Through the New Testament list, go to: www.40DaysforLife.com/renotahoe/NewTestament, print it out and get started now.

This is the sort of thing that can be forwarded by email to family and friends, or posted on your Facebook page to help others appreciate the situation we are facing and to encourage them to take action.

After viewing the video, say NO to government funding of abortion on-demand once and for all and move on to discuss true health care reform.

Tell President Obama that you are part of the 80% of Americans who do not want to pay for abortions in health care reform.  Urge the President to make a clear statement that there will be no taxpayer funding of abortion on-demand once and for all, and include Stupak language in any health care bill that is advanced. To take action …
