SUMMARY:Love Life Prayer Walk 40 Week Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Come join Love Life as we unite many evangelical churches and businesses in Birmingham together in front of Planned Parenthood to worship the Lord and pray for the end of abortion. This is not a protest or political rally (no signs or engaging with people outside the prayer group). It is strictly a time of peaceful intercessory prayer and celebration over the hundreds of lives we’ve seen saved this year through sidewalk outreach and prayer. At the conclusion of the walk\, Love Life offers many ways to connect on a deeper level with helping moms and dads who are considering abortion. Read more here.
