October is Respect Life Month – Join a Life Chain (NEWS FROM DELAWARE RIGHT TO LIFE)
Life Chain Sunday, October 3rd, is a national event that draws thousands of participants to rally in witness for the preborn children threatened by abortion. Participants hold pro-life signs as they stand in silent, prayerful lines along busy thoroughfares where they make a powerful impact to those driving by. Please join us for an hour or longer to be a voice for the voiceless innocent babies who need us to stand up for them.
