SPRING BANQUET SET FOR APRIL 18

A TIME TO CELEBRATE?

This week was a very important anniversary. Excuse me if I do not choose to

“celebrate” it. January 22 marked the 40th anniversary of Roe vs Wade, the

landmark decision which made abortion legal for any reason at any time during a

woman’s pregnancy up to nine months all 50 states. That is not the type of anniver-

sary I choose to celebrate, but rather to commemorate.

It is a time for us to remember the nearly 55 million lives that have been ended

before birth in the US alone and the countless families that have been deeply

affected. It is a time to consider the sanctity of human life and to worship its

Creator.

Life is a precious gift from God. Each baby born has the opportunity to experience

joy, to learn to love, and to glorify God. Yet everyday desperate young womenmake the choice between life and death for their unborn baby. The pressures they

face can be intense and the value of the innocent life in their womb is often dimin-

ished. But we are here to help. We offer counseling, support, and truth. In this

loving atmosphere our clients can learn to see hope in a situation that may have

seemed hopeless. We walk alongside them in their situation giving God’s perspec-

tive of both their value and the value of their unborn baby.

We equip them with the knowledge and information they need to make the choice

between parenting and adoption, and with information and skills to empower them

to be the very best parents they can be!

Now that is something I will celebrate!

I will celebrate the hundreds of young women and men who have come to receive

free pregnancy tests, counseling, and education to strengthen their families!I will celebrate the babies and toddlers that now are playing, going to school,

laughing, and giggling because their mother chose to give them life after coming to

Heart Choices or any other pregnancy care center!

I will celebrate LIFE! And I will PRAY that our nation will receive healing from

the damage of abortion and the power to protect and nurture life. As we look to the

future, we pray the individuals and families spared from abortion will inspire us to

continue to speak up for those who do not have a voice. Alice

“ Change for Life”

Baby Bottle Campaign

The Change for Life Baby Bottle Campaign is a fun way for individuals, families, churches,

organizations and even schools to support the ministry of the Heart Choices and learn

what we do.

It's easy. Heart Choices provides the empty baby bottles. Individuals and families from

churches, schools or organizations, take them home and for one month fill the baby bottles with loose

pocket change. The bottle can be filled with coins, dollar bills, or a check made out to Heart Choices.

At the end of the campaign, the filled bottles are collected. The organization or church counts the money

and submits a check to Heart Choices for the total amount. It’s that easy!

Every cent is used to help Heart Choices reach out to women in need because of unplanned

pregnancies, educate and equip parents to provide the best upbringing for their children, and edu-

cate young people to make healthy choices regarding their sexuality.

Schedule a “Change For Life” baby bottle fundraiser for Heart Choices. Give us a call today! 785-738-3433
