40 DAYS FOR LIFE GOAL: From February 26 to April 5 our community will take part in 40 Days for Life … a groundbreaking, coordinated internaonal mobilizaon. We pray that, with God’s help, this will mark the beginning of the end of aboron in our city — and beyond. Where: Public right‐of‐way outside Planned Parenthood 68 McDowell Street, Asheville, North Carolina For informaon contact Pamela Owenby at [email protected] or go to 40Daysforlife.com/Asheville

CONSTANT VIGIL The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40‐day, non‐stop, round‐the‐clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other aboron facility in your community. It is a peaceful and educaonal presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 24‐hour‐a‐day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of aboron. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at the aboron center and those who patronize the facility. www.40Daysforlife.com/Asheville What, exactly, IS stewardship? ¿Qué es exactamente la mayordomía?
