It is hard to believe we are already a month into 2023, but February is almost here. To begin, LIFESPAN has given a meaningful financial donation to help Protect Life Michigan (PLM) stage Michigan’s 2023 Roe v. Wade Memorial March at the State Capitol in Lansing on Saturday, January 28 at 1 pm. PLM is a grassroots organization that focuses on recruiting, training, and educating college and high school students. PLM was the Coalition member given responsibility for the door-to-door outreach during the 2022 election campaign. Apologies for the short notice as we did not receive notice about it until January. Register to attend at https://www.protectlifemi.org/mimarch. Scott Klusendorff of the Life Training Institute, previously the author of the Making Abortion Unthinkable training sessions utilized by LIFESPAN, is the keynote speaker. PLM’s President Christen Pollo and her husband, Trevor Pollo, will also speak. Trevor will also return to speak at LIFESPAN’s Be the Change program. It is important for LIFESPAN to partner with other action-oriented, grassroots pro-life groups such as PLM, while large groups in Michigan focus on fundraising and dictating failed political strategies to grassroots pro-lifers.
Moving on to upcoming LIFESPAN events, LIFESPAN’s Generation Truth Be the Change pro-life training session happens Friday, March 3 from 4-8 pm in the atrium of the Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn. (The same program is offered Saturday, March 4 at Auburn Hills Christian Church if that is more convenient.) The event includes a pizza dinner and primarily aims to equip 7th-12th grade students to be effective and informed advocates for the preborn. That said, every adult in attendance in 2022 raved about the program as well. Trevor Pollo will speak and offer practical hands-on advice for youth attendees, while Bryan Kemper is the keynote speaker. Bryan is a Pastoral Associate and the Youth Director of Priests for Life and will offer his own powerful, pro-life testimonial. There is no cost for this event, although we ask for a free-will donation to help us offset our costs. Please invite any middle school, high school, or college students in your life to attend! Please also be sure to invite your parish youth ministers, teachers, and catechists. Finally, we cordially invite you and any interested pro-life adult to attend! See the flier inside for more information.
LIFESPAN’s 34th Annual Baby Shower takes place on Sunday, March 12. We partner each church with a local problem pregnancy center or LIFESPAN’s WeeCare program. So far, there are eight churches participating in our Chapter. It is not too late for your church to sign on and participate!!! See the flier on the back for information. The Baby Shower is a prime opportunity for pro-lifers to offer loving care for mothers and babies and totally eliminate abortions influenced by genuine material needs in our region.
DO ALL HUMAN BEINGS DESERVE EQUAL RIGHTS OR ONLY SOME?
Yours in LIFE,
Timothy Pruse
Wayne County Chapter Director
