Hi Folks,
As usual spring in Michigan is a really unpredictable season!! I keep looking for 85 and sunny.
Last call for Carnations. On the 12th of April, I sent a separate mailing with the order form to everyone. I must get a number for the florist so please, if you are going to do it, get your numbers to me as soon as possible.
On a serious note, more and more violence is being visited on pro-life people, speakers and supporters. Some of our most effective speakers are being required to hire their own bodyguards, bomb sniffing dogs, and enter venues by the back door in fear for their physical safety. Colleges and universities are withdrawing invitations to speak for fear of violence from the audience. Pro-life organizations are being excluded from many social media outlets. The goal of the “protesters” is to cancel our voices. If we can’t share the pro-life message, only pro-abortion voices will be heard. It sometimes takes my breath away when I see what is happening. Free speech is being throttled in schools, in the press, and “so called” institutions of higher learning.
We will do all we can to continue to spread the joyful message of LIFE. I ask the same of you. In your community, in your churches, among your friends. I am not suggesting that you place yourselves in any kind of danger, but sometimes we remain silent because we don’t want to offend or “hurt” someone’s feelings. Remember—silence is acceptance. A simple “I don’t agree with you” is all it takes to start a reasonable, non-confrontational discussion.
Father’ s Day candy will be available again this year and the order form is attached to this email. If you need to know what you ordered last year, give us a call—248-816-1546.
If you do not have a pamphlet rack in the restroom at your faith community, ask if you can put one in, (many styles are available online-one that holds 3-4 brochures is best) and then fill it with pro-life information, available from our office at no charge,
It would be great to see many of you at the dinner on the 9th of May—we still have room for a few more people. There is a flyer attached.
Here is a general question for you. Anyone out there who likes to do garage sales? We are always seeking new fund raisers and it was suggested that we pick 2 people who would “host” a garage sale in their own homes and we would select a date, get helpers to do the pricing etc. and tell people where to drop donated things off. This is still in the planning/talking stage—I am just trying to get a feel for any interest there may be.
Love Life
Diane and Lynn
