Greensboro Life Chain: Hundreds of Christians will line the sidewalks along Battleground Avenue to silently pray for the church, our communities and our nation concerning the issue of abortion.

Please join in this holy privilege to express God's heart regarding abortion and to be a positive, effective witness to a culture that has become numb to the reality of abortion and the pain it causes women.

Participants may hold signs which state, "Adoption the Loving Option", "Jesus Heals and Forgives", "Abortion Kills Children", "Lord Forgive Us and Our Nation", and "Abortion Hurts Women". The message of these signs is powerful, but even more powerful is the opportunity we have as people of faith to come together in the unity of Christ to publicly repent and intercede on behalf of the unborn.

If you would like to participate, please sign up at the Life Chain table in the Worship Center Lobby. The Life Chain coordinator for the church will contact you about the exact location on Battleground.
