You are invited to come and learn what you can do to defeat abortion and build a Culture of Life. What: The Kick-off meeting for the Pro-Life Youth Congress (PLYC) in this area will be taking place. The PLYC is a group of teens who strive to educate the teens of America on the topics of leadership, abstinence / purity, and Pro-Life beliefs regarding topics of abortion, euthanasia, and stem cell research. The meeting will introduce you to the PLYC and there will be free pizza. Where: In Malara Hall at Holy Family Church in Steub. Ohio When: Tuesday, September 29 th from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Why: We need you! In such a fight, every person is invaluable. The PLYC is important because it focuses on uniting the youth to defeat abortion. Lots of high-school ers say they are pro-life, but don t do anything about it. The PLYC gives them the opportunity to take action and learn how to become leaders in the Pro-Life movement. With one million, five hundred thousand abortions being performed each year in the USA, we need people who are willing to take a stand for life. Who: If you are interested in coming, or want to find out more about the PLYC, send a to Nathan Coleman at nathan@prolifeyouthcongress.com or Elizabeth Wherry at or beth.wherry@sbcglobal.net. You can help in many ways. First pray prayers are something no one can do without. 2nd encourage a teenager to participate.
