THIRD ANNUAL PRINCE GEORGE 40 DAYS FOR LIFE
The next 40 Days for Life Campaign is scheduled to start on February 10th.
We are looking for co-coordinators to help organize the event and volunteers for the vigil. As this is a 40 day campaign it requires many people to volunteer.
40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion. It draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program: Prayer and fasting, Constant vigil and Community outreach.
Prince George is one of the four communities in BC that hosts this event. Many lives have been saved through your efforts. Help to save even more lives.
Please email Tony Donovan at mailto:tdonovan@gmail.com to volunteer, or for more information.
Attention Former Frontier Apostles
What does it mean for descendants of residential school staff to reconcile with Canadian history? To explore this question, Caroline Crocker, a graduate student at the University of Victoria, is reaching out to other Canadians like herself – people whose parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or other relatives worked in the Indian Residential School System – to ask them to join a focus group on Saturday, January 30, 2016 to discuss the topic. Caroline’s research project is on reconciliation (improving relationships and healing) in Canada between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, specifically in regards to the Indian Residential School system. If you worked at an Indian Residential School and you think possibly your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews would be interested in participating in this discussion, contact Caroline by phone at 613-986-2276 or by email at crockerc@uvic.ca for further information.
