This Sunday, we are recognizing the Sanctity of Human Life. Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is a day set aside in our nation to pray for and remember the lives of the unborn children and coincides with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Three local ministries that protect the unborn will share with us and have tables in the Narthex: Chester County Women’s Services, Healing Hearts, and Genesis Women’s Clinic.

As believers in Christ, may we stand up for the truth that life begins at conception. “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13-14a.

Baby Bottle Drive for CCWS
As in the past, you can help impact our community through the Baby Bottle Drive with Chester County Women’s Services. Please fill your bottle with change, currency, or a check written to Chester County Women’s Services and return by February 7, 2021. Pickup a bottle at the table in the Narthex. If you are more comfortable using a virtual option of donating, CCWS has a creative way to donate your change using an app called RoundUp. Click here for more info.
