Please join in a 9-day prayer to end government funding of abortion and to guide our nation in the upcoming elections:
Come Holy Spirit. Enlighten all voters that they will know that abortion, euthanasia, and embryonic stem cell research are intrinsic evils that cannot be put on the same level as social or economic policies, which can be debated and approached in many ways.

Help us elect a president and lawmakers who have an awesome respect for the Sanctity of Human Life and are willing to stand up for life and preserve our Religious Liberty as guaranteed in the First Amendment. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

______________________ First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim 2:1-4).
