Dear Prayer Warriors,
We are only one month away from the start of our fall 40 Days for Life campaign. Have you thought about what you can do to contribute to this life-saving, life-changing worldwide effort?
Can you help make needed phone calls to invite our past 40 Days for Life prayer warriors to join this fall’s campaign? Much help is needed here!
Can you be a vigil captain making calls to fill hours? We still have no vigil captain for Sunday; there are only 6 Sundays involved.
Have you called a friend to sign up for an hour or 2 each week, especially one who is new to 40 Days for Life?
Has your group (Bible study, Rosary group, etc.) discussed a weekly shift when you could commit to praying out at Planned Parenthood where prayers are so desperately needed?
MEN – Have you called a buddy and selected a weekly time slot? Can your men’s group sign up for a 2-hour or more weekly shift? After dark, night time, overnight hours are NOT times for women to be out on the sidewalk alone, praying! We need you to step up, come out, and defend life and the family! Keep in mind that this is only for about 6 weeks (Sept. 25 to Nov. 3) – can you give to God in return for all he has given YOU?
Many hours remain open; there are many from which to choose. You CAN sign up now! “Can you not watch one hour with Me?”
THERE ARE 2 GOALS HERE:
TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING A LITTLE SO THAT A FEW AREN’T DOING A LOT
TO FILL CALENDAR HOURS NOW TO MINIMIZE PHONE CALLING LATER
Go to vigilforlife.org/calendar/monthview, call Bette Weisshaar at 608-358-5963 or email at info@vigilforlife.org to sign up for hours.
