40 Days For Life
5th Annual Good Friday Prayer Vigil Christians of all denominations are invited to
join in solemn prayer on Good Friday at
Charleston Women's Medical Center where ap-
proximately 2000 abortions up to 16 weeks are
done each year. Local area pastors will lead in
scripture and prayer throughout the morning as
we meditate on our redemption won by Christ.
We refrain on this solemn day of our Lord's
death from using signs that would connote a
picket or demonstration to the public. Instead, a
life--sized cross will be our only sign as we car-
ry the cross of abortion, keeping the prayerful
focus of the day on the cross of Christ.
