One Night at the Center
One night inside the doors of Choices of the Heart is enough to last a lifetime, but what does a night inside the center look like? On one Wednesday in 2009 we saw a mom and her 14 yr. old who needed a pregnancy test, a previous client facing her second pregnancy at 17, now considering abortion, a parenting client who found out she miscarried during her ultrasound and an undecided client who returned to tell us she is going to parent and not abort her twins.
There is no charge for tickets. Our hosts simply invite guests to come and join them for dinner. Dinner is complimentary and our speakers and testimonies are amazing. There is always a time at the end of the meal for guests to make a pledge of support to the ministry. That can be anything from volunteering their time to being on our mail list or becoming a monthly partner.
Getting your local church involved in the work of a pregnancy center means helping to save lives. Volunteers, financial support and invaluable resources come through the help of our churches all during the year. A majority of those churches will step up during the month of January because it is Sanctity of Life month, but it doesn’t matter when it matters if.
...if they will consider that local pregnancy centers are right in their back yard and serving the community where the church congregation lives. We are asking our supporters to talk to their pastor, their mission committee, their ladies’ bible study leader, their friends. Let them know without the church this life saving work could not continue.
Many churches doing a little adds up to a lot. Our baby bottle campaign, for example is a small donation made by thousands of individuals who pick up their bottles at church. It sustains us until winter ends. So every little bit one church can do adds up in the end.
Call our center to find out how to get your church involved; it’s never too late!
