SANCTITY OF LIFE SUNDAY THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 21ST

What is Sanctity of Life Sunday?  On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (January 22, 1973, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God's gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage.  Churches continue to recognize the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

This Sunday, North Shore will begin it's annual Baby Bottle Boomerang, which collects funds for Bay Area Pregnancy Services (BAPS).  BAPS helps women facing unexpected pregnancies, and is one of the missions we support.  To participate, simply take one of the baby bottles located in the foyer, fill it with change, cash, or check (payable to BAPS), and return it to church by Sunday, March 11th!  Feel free to take another, or encourage your kids to join in.  

There will also be a Pro-Life Rally this Sunday at 1:00 pm at the Menominee courthouse.  It will be followed by a speaker and interfaith prayer service with worship music and refreshments across the street at LifeCore, Inc.
