Sanctity of Life

Tuesday, President Bush declared January 19th National Sanctity of Human Life Day. His declaration precedes next week"s anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision Legalizing abortion in the United States.
He said his actions were to "reaffirm the value of human life and renew our dedication to ensuring that every American has access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Many local churches and several organizations will be celebrating Life Sunday and the following week. Three thousand crosses will be erected along I-5 representing the approximate number of abortions per day in the United States. Other activities that occur in our area on a continuing basis are volunteers helping at the CareNet and Life Light pregnancy help centers and programs to help the very young and the elderly.
All citizens were encouraged by the President to "rededicate ourselves to compassionate service, and to reaffirm our commitment to respecting the life and dignity of every human being."

Details: Again this year we will be installing 3000 crosses along Interstate 5 south of Red Bluff for National Sanctity of Life week to remind over a million that pass by what we are doing each day with abortion in this country.
Area churches and their youth have been a key to the success of this project in the past. We would appreciate it if you could help us get the word out of the project that will be on January 19th at 10am.
To get to the assembly point from Red Bluff--Go south on Main Street approximately 2.8 miles past the Wall Mart shopping center to Manor Lane--Turn right on Manor Lane and go to the end of the road at I-5. We will have refreshments and potty at the site.
