SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE MONTH

JANUARY, 2023

“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”    - John 10:10 b

On January 23, 2022, we will recognize Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. This is a day for Americans to focus on the value of each and every human life. It is celebrated every year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, which legalized abortion in every state for any reason through all nine months of pregnancy.

President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation creating the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day in January 1984.

We encourage you to celebrate the value of all human life throughout the whole month of January. And we invite you on Sunday, January 23, to remember the loss of more than 57 million unborn children since 1973. Be on the lookout for Sanctity of Human Life activities happening in our communities!

FOR OUR CHURCHES!

We are asking that our partner churches help share and celebrate Sanctity of Human Life Month! And we have created tools to help equip you to do this! Every year we supply churches with flyers that we print for you for free! You can use these flyers in any way you wish, we just need you to place your order and we will get them to you! We will also provide a PowerPoint slide and graphic image for you to share online if you wish!

CONTACT marlene@alternativesofkzoo.org TO PLACE YOUR ORDER. ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY THE END OF NOVEMBER IN ORDER FOR US TO GET THEM PRINTED AND TO YOU BEFORE BY JANUARY.

We would also love to be a part of your Sanctity of Human Life emphasis on a Sunday in January by sharing briefly during a service or getting Alternatives ministry information to you to share with your congregation. Just let us know how we can help by contacting cathy@alternativesofkzoo.org

GULL LAKE MINISTRIES

(Note our NEW day & location!)

With guest speaker RYAN BOMBERGER - Founder of The Radiance Foundation

Ryan Bomberger has a rather unique perspective of the innate nature of Purpose. His biological mother was raped yet courageously gave him a chance to live and the beautiful gift of adoption. He was adopted at 6 weeks of age and grew up in a loving, multi-“racial” Christian family of 15. With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a great appreciation for diversity. Ten of the thirteen children were adopted in this remarkable family. His life defies the myth of the “unwanted” child as he was adopted, loved and has flourished.

He was the creative force behind the first ad campaign to expose abortion’s hugely disproportionate impact in the black community. The bold TooManyAborted.com billboards/web campaigns made an unexpected impact in the pro-life movement.

Today, he is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501(c)(3), along with his wife, Bethany. He is a broadcast media designer, producer, columnist, passionate factivist, international public speaker and author of the powerful book, Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.
