Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

Americans have observed Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (SOHLS) since 1983 as a day to celebrate the intrinsic value of all human life. It is held every year on the Sunday in January that falls closest to the day on which the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court (on January 22, 1973) which legalized abortion in every state - for any reason - through all nine months of pregnancy. President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation creating the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day back in 1984, and it included these words: "We have been given the precious gift of human life, made more precious still by our births in our pilgrimages to a land of freedom. It is fitting, then, on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that struck down State antiabortion laws, that we reflect anew on these blessings, and on our corresponding responsibility to guard with care the lives and freedoms of even the weakest of our fellow human beings." Sobering Statistic: Over 55 million babies have been lost to abortion since its 1973 legalization.

Baby Bottle Blessings

is a fun way for individuals and families to take a baby bottle home and fill it with coins, bills, or even checks, to help support the ministry of Care Net Crisis Pregnancy Center in Rockland. If you would like to participate, please feel free to take one of the bottles provided in the rear of the sanctuary. The due date to return the bottles is Sunday, February 17. Your gifts and prayers are a blessing to the Care Net ministry. If you have any questions, please speak to Andrea. Thank you.
