Carson City Kick-Off Went Well

Across from the new Planned Parenthood facility at 1201 North Stewart Street, about 30 members of northern Nevada’s faith community prayed Wednesday evening as they began the 40 Days for Life campaign in the state capital.  The participants included families, young adults, and seniors.

Planned Parenthood was open for business during this time, and employees occasionally peered out their windows to see what was going on.  The facility is located only a short walk from Nevada’s government complex and the Governor’s Mansion.  To ensure there would be no violations of the facility’s property line, organizer Cecelia Merrell had the 40 Days for Life members gather on the opposite side of North Stewart.  A prayer vigil to end abortion will take place at the facility through April 1st on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, its current days of operation.  

Please sign-up on the vigil calendar for an hour a week if you are in or near the Carson City area and would like to play a role in saving a life, by going to www.vigilcalendar.com/carsoncity.   If you are planning on participating in the campaign, please sign a statement of peace by going to www.40daysforlife.com/renotahoe/statementofpeace

Please register the hours when you can come pray at the sidewalk by going to our on-line calendar at:  www.vigilcalendar.com/renotahoe or www.vigilcalendar/carsoncity

You are welcome to sign-up or simply show-up to pray at the sidewalk at any time of the day or night when you are available to join us.   Your prayers have value well beyond anything we can see and we welcome whatever contribution you can make to the effort as we Pray to End Abortion.
