Today is the Day For Life. It is the day in the Church’s life dedicated to celebrating the sacredness of life. The theme this year is ‘The Wonder of the Child in the Womb’. The proceeds from today’s Day for Life collection provide core funding to assist other life-related activities supported by the Church.

Also, the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) will be holding their Join the Fightback Day. Show your support by joining SPUC’s campaign to defend unborn babies and their mothers. If enough people stand up for the pro-life cause, politicians will have to take heed of concern

This Tuesday is the National Day of Prayer and Fasting for Life. Please pray and fast for the end of abortion and euthanasia in this country. Your prayer and fasting is urgently needed.
