Educational Presentation on Orthodox Pro-Life Event -- by Hannah Conover
This ministry focuses on protecting the sanctity of life from conception through natural death. There are various ways to do this. A couple of examples would be:
-
Supporting Crossroads, a crisis pregnancy center for both women and men in need when faced with unexpectant pregnancies. A nice way to do this is to come out and participate in the 5K walk/run.
-
Participating in the March for Life, a prayerful protest against the Roe v Wade and the legalization of abortion. This is an annual event in which we take a bus to our nation’s capital and then attend the rally and join in the march to peacefully protest for the rights of the unborn.
For those interested, check out the following pro-life resources:
