Hi All,
Well, as I write this it is not quite 2006 but it is fast approaching—if it does not freeze to death before it gets here!
A new year is always filled with plans for our regular events and a few new ones thrown into the mix.
We have almost selected a speaker for our Celebrate Life dinner on May 5, 2026. We have not signed a contract yet so I can’t name our choice, but it is someone EVERYONE will want to see!
We will have our volunteer luncheon on Saturday, March 14 at the Grand Tavern restaurant in Troy. We have been there before, and the buffet is super good!!! It also gives us a chance to put faces to names and for everyone to offer suggestions and share what works in your faith community.
Don’t forget the Baby Showers on March 8th. This will be our 37th year sponsoring baby showers at area faith communities. The wonderful things people donate at the show go to nearby pregnancy help centers where they are distributed to moms at risk of abortion, who are in need of material goods, or just need someone to talk to. You will be getting information from the main office about registering your faith community for a shower.
Some people and churches light votive candles on the evening of January 22, recognizing the Supreme Court Decision on abortion which opened the door to so much misery. While it has been overturned, we now find states loosening their state laws to allow for abortions at any time during pregnancy or allowing mail order abortion pills to be sent to women with no medical supervision at all. If you would like candles and white bags to hold them, please call the office.
So many things coming up—Washington DC march, Be The Change, Baby Showers, Celebrate Life Dinner, Mother’s Day Carnations and Father’s Day Candy and more. We are a busy group, and it is our prayer that with each event someone or several someones will change their mind on abortion.
So, even though this message is actually for January, Lynn, Marilyn, Isabella, and the entire board of the Oakland/Macomb chapter want to wish and your families a very joyous Christmas and a blessed and happy New Year.
Love Life!
Diane T.
