October 1 - LIFE Chain Sunday
On Life Chain Sunday, hundreds of pro-life people will line the sidewalks along routes in the metropolitan Detroit area and hold pre-printed signs such as: "Abortion Kills Children," "Abortion Hurts Women," "Pray to End Abortion," "Adoption: The Loving Option," and "Jesus Forgives and Heals." This is what is known as a "Life Chain."
Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful visual statement of solidarity by our local community that abortion is grievously wrong. Won't you stand an hour to be a witness to the value of life?
