General Announcements 

Sidewalk Advocates for Life training set for Feb. 11 in Indianapolis

Sidewalk Advocates for Life will offer training in Indianapolis from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on Feb. 11. The location will be identified upon registering for the training.

The training will teach participants how to peacefully and prayerfully reach out to women in crisis pregnancies at the Planned Parenthood facility at 8590 Georgetown Road in Indianapolis.

Indiana legislation passed last summer promoting life by restricting abortions is under a preliminary injunction. Until this status changes, abortions continue in Indiana, and women remain in need of the loving, compassionate help of sidewalk advocates.

For more information on sidewalk advocates or about the training, contact Sheryl Dye at smdye1@gmail.com.
