“The mission of Greater Columbus Right to Life (GCRTL) is to ensure that all – from the moment of conception to natural death – are afforded the most basic and fundamental human right: the right to life. Our vision is to bring an end to abortion in Franklin County by the year 2020.
One of the programs that GCRTL leads is 40 Days for Life, an ecumenical, faith-based effort made up of three key components:
1 Prayer and Fasting: inviting people of faith throughout our city to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer and fasting for an end to abortion.
2 Peaceful Vigil: standing for life through a 40-day peaceful public witness outside the local Samuel’s OB/GYN, 5910 & 5888 Cleveland Avenue, Columbus.
3 Community Outreach: taking a positive, upbeat pro-life message to every corner of our city through media efforts, church presentations, door-to-door advocacy, and public visibility.
This year we will close the 40 days by celebrating a Liturgy at the Time of Death for the Pre-born. You and your congregation are invited to perform the liturgy with us on Sunday, November 2, at 3:30 p.m. The liturgy will be performed at the abortion clinic, Samuel’s OB/GYN, 5910 & 5888 Cleveland Avenue, Columbus. This is a straightforward service of prayer and remembrance for the lives of preborn children brought to an abrupt end, to pronounce the blessing of the church upon these children and to ask for forgiveness for those who were performing the abortions.
I hope that you and many of your congregants will join us on November 2. To help us estimate the number of people to plan for, please let us know if you will be joining us by calling our office at 614.445.8508. You are also welcome to call for additional information about Greater Columbus Right to Life, 40 Days for Life, or the Liturgy at the Time of Death for the Pre-born.”
