Sidewalk Counseling Training – Jan 2010

WHEN:     Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010.  12:00 – 3:00 pm
WHERE:   Pike Peak Citizens for Life (PPCFL) Office (707-R N. Nevada)

Do we truly want to live in a community that protects life?

The parking lot of Planned Parenthood (PP) on West Colorado Ave is full every Thursday, Friday and Saturday with young women – many scared and confused – going for abortions.

A growing number of pro-life people come to PP on Saturday mornings to pray beside sidewalk counselors who pass out information and speak with the abortion-minded moms and dads.  The number of counselors is growing, but more help is needed.

Do you feel called to reach out to these parents-to-be, but don’t know what to say?  Then come to the next Sidewalk Counseling training on Saturday, Jan. 16 at the PPCFL office.

To get more info or to reserve your place in the class, call PPCFL today at (719) 630-1999.
