Come Pray with Us!

It will be business as usual at Toledo’s abortuary this Sunday, March 20.Join us at Toledo Women’s Center (formerly Capital Care Network) to intercede on behalf of our endangered pre-born boys and girls.If we fill the sidewalks around the abortuary (1160 W. Sylvania Ave.) with a peaceful, prayer, loving and law-abiding presence from 8:45 a.m. until about noon, when most patients are expected to arrive, God will answer our prayers and the heart conversions and no-show appointments will be great. Let’s join hands and hearts to stop this now.

Sunday, March 13th Lent 2: So much is out of our control. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are  sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen  gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left  to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,  ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’” – Luke 13: 31-35 

Sunday, March 20 Lent 3: Lots of things can be medicine. Then [Jesus] told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his  vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to  the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this  fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the  soil?’ He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it  and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not,  you can cut it down.’” – Luke 13:1-9

A Small present can save a life.

The COVID-19 pandemic created shutdowns, stay-at-home orders and event hiatuses. Though few of us were unaffected by the impacts, it seems some demographics may have experienced higher levels of loneliness due to social isolation than others.28% of seniors live alone, more than 14.7 million peopleLoneliness and social isolation increase the risk of dementia by 50%.
Other health risks related to loneliness include:Stroke: Risk increases by 32%Heart disease: Risk increases by 29%Mental health disorders: Risk increases by 26%Premature mortality: Risk increases by 26%
The health effects of loneliness are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day! 25% of Seniors felt lonely before covid19 and now surveys say 56% feel lonely. Statistics also so a small, thoughtful present given with a point of connection changes that feeling by as much as 66%! (Consumer Affair, 2021)
That is what the PAL, pro-abundant life, program intends to do with your help. Together, we can bless an isolated senior citizen with a gift that says you are valued and we care about you while also connecting them to a local church. This month, would you add a small gift for one of these area seniors to your shopping list and drop it off so we can be a PAL to one of these three people?
Ruth age 79 ( likes mystery e-books and movies, purple is favorite color for blanket, etc.)
Michael age 75 (wants a bathrobe and popcorn)
Crystal age 80 (wants slippers and mystery books\movies) . Click the link for more details.
