The 2010 Lenten 40DFL began yesterday, Wednesday, February 17 (Ash Wednesday).  The turnout was good — our prayer and testimony intense.  Even so, we must stay the course, doing what we individually are able to do, standing with love, empathy, determination, grit, and fortitude against the holocaust.

The online calendar shows a majority of hours remain vacant for the remainder of this week.  Although more hours are filled than are shown on the online calendar, it is most helpful to the success of the campaign if you can PLEASE sign-up online.  This is the only way that we know for sure if an hour is actually covered.  Please invite your friends, neighbors, and all in your circle of influence to log-on and consider signing-up for one or more regular vigil hours during the campaign – Vigil Calendar link.

Because there are many days of uncertain coverage, the banner, prayer chest, memorial, and other items may not be on-site when you arrive.  If this is the case, you can pick up a sign or two from the usual location (call Glenn if you don’t know where this is):

• GETTING IN:  If you don’t know how to get in to obtain the materials – call Glenn.
• SIGNING IN:  When you arrive, please read the Statement of Peace and sign-in… there will be a clipboard.
• SIGNS, ETC:  You can obtain a sign to hold and other materials such as the prayer aids prepared by Jennifer A. (our prayer coordinator).
  • Feel free to take one of the Women Do Regret Abortion/Men Regret Lost Fatherhood signs home with you but do return it at the end of the K40DFL.
  • If no one comes to replace you when you depart, please return all other signs, banners, and other material.
• DONATIONS:  A donation can will also be available.  Donations go to Samuel’s Hand Coalition (SHC) to fund current projects (such as the K40DFL).  Note that currently, while SHC is a legal not-for-profit entity licensed in Washington State, your donations are not tax deductible.

May God bless us all — the unborn babies, mothers, fathers, families, PP workers, community, society, and world we pray for as we do this work.

For life!
