Below is the information and request from Bev Ehlen:
Please consider participating in Life Chain this year. It would work really well if you would ask a member of your congregation to communicate with me so we can send you the promotional material for the event. WE have bulletin inserts, bulletin announcements and a timeline to share with your church. Thanks, Bev Ehlen
Life Chain Warren County
Sunday, October 5, AD2014
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
West Side of Hwy 47 between Veterans Memorial Pkwy. and Main St.
What is Life Chain?
It is a peaceful, positive, prayerful witness against abortion. Come, let us seek God’s divine intervention for the healing of our country.
Who Should Attend?
Those who are willing to defend human life against abortion.
Bring the family—including a lawn chair for the elderly.
Our community needs to know that the church supports the sanctity of human life.
Individuals will be given signs (and only these signs are used during Life Chain) to display the following messages:
“Abortion Kills Children”, “Jesus Heals and Forgives”, “Abortion Hurts Women”, “Pray to End Abortion”, “Adoption, the Loving Option”, “ Lord, Forgive Us and Our Nation”, “Life—the First Inalienable Right.”
Our churches in Warren County will join forces to participate in this event. Please meet at 1:45 p.m.
There will be two check-in points where one can sign in and pick up a sign—at the corner of Hwy 47 and Vet. Memorial Hwy. or at the corner of Hwy 47 and Hwy MM (Main St.)
Please bring baby items to leave for the Crisis Pregnancy Center.
One thing that I have done in the past is hold a "Baby Shower" Luncheon. It could be potluck for those who would like to stay after church and go to Life Chain from there. We have had the participants bring baby items to the "Baby Shower" Luncheon which we in turn brought to Life Chain for donation to a Crisis Pregnancy Center such as Thrive or Birthright.
LIFE CHAIN PRESS RELEASE
National Life Chain Sunday 2014 – October 5
For location and time in hundreds of cities and towns across the
U.S. and Canada, see www.LifeChain.net
Contact: Royce Dunn, Director of Life Chain

National Life Chain Sunday 2014—on October 5, across the U.S. and Canada—will provide a visible and resolute voice for voiceless children who are threatened by the surgical abortionists’ cruel instruments or by the deadly chemicals in abortive birth controls. The location and time of each Life Chain will be posted at www.LifeChain.net (by state in the U.S. and by province in Canada).
In this our 27th year of public witness on behalf of rejected Preborns, Life Chain will again fill sidewalks in hundreds of cities and towns (over 1500 in 2013). Sign messages will include Abortion Kills Children, Adoption The Loving Option, Jesus Forgives and Heals and other poignant signs available to participants, plus original, creative messages approved by local coordinators.
In brief, Life Chain is an earnest ecumenical prayer ministry rightly viewed as an afternoon extension of Sunday morning worship. Pastoral leadership is key, idle talk is shunned, and the foundational intent of each Chain is to provide God an outreach to anoint and work through. Only He can defeat the powerful spiritual forces that crafted the abortion holocaust now ravaging America and Canada, but God has assigned His church a strategic role. And how strategic is that role? Renown missionary Arthur Matthews reminded us in Born for Battle that “for every provocation against God’s cause there is provision for victory,” but “without God man cannot” (achieve victory) and “without man God will not” (provide victory). Thus, the rightful heart for prayer against the scourge of legal child killing is surely one of partnering—of partnering our love and protection for local Preborns “being led away to death” (Proverbs 24:10-12) with God’s eternal sovereignty.
In preparation for October 5, let us trust in the faithfulness of our almighty God and commit humbly to His cause for desperate Little Ones in our church communities. German church leaders who failed to so commit and who witnessed God’s fierce intervention against holocaustic powers 70 years ago wrote: “We did not fear God above all the powers of men and government; we did not trust and obey God unconditionally—that is what brought us under the sway of the tempter; that is what cast us into the abyss! That is what gave the demon of humanity free rein among us…. Before Him there cries out against us all the innocently shed blood, all the blaspheming of his Holy name, and all the inhumanities which occurred in our midst, especially against the Jews.” That occasion was the Berlin-Brandenburg church leadership Day of Repentance in 1945.
Opportunity awaits us. National Life Chain Sunday 2014 can be a national day of repentance in America and Canada if we choose to make it so. Let us so choose and then see God work mightily among us to save numerous rejected Preborns whose lives rely solely on our partnership with God.
