PRO-LIFE FUNDRAISER: GOD GIVES LIFE AND LOVES LIFE! 

And Christians love life too! Human life begins at conception. Expectant mothers have a little person precious to God inside of them.  Because God values life and we do too, our congregation is gathering a freewill offering to benefit the Pregnancy Resource Center of Atchison. 

This ingathering starts today (Mothers’ Day) and ends on Fathers’ Day. 

Young children at this year’s VBS will have this offering project too. 

Take a baby bottle home; fill it with spare change, cash, or a check (made out to TLC, with the memo: “Pregnancy Resource Center”; and return your filled bottle by June 15th. 

VBS children can bring their bottles and gifts on the last day of VBS. 

In your bottle you’ll find a paper with a Bible verse and prayer to read and pray each time you put your gift into the baby bottle. 

Please participate. Thanks! O Lord, thank You for Your gift of life! Bless us, our nation and world with a greater respect for the life You give! Amen.
