Life Walk 2011

Billy, Maryn, and I had the pleasure of participating in a Life Walk for the Pregnancy Care Center of Niles (the town in Michigan where I work and where we go to church) a couple of weeks ago.  The clinic was able to raise a significant amount of money (over $22,000), and it was a good opportunity to raise awareness for the services the clinic provides for the community.  The clinic is in the process of remodeling a new facility, which is just down the street from the local abortion clinic.  The walk began at a downtown park along the St. Joseph River, and over 400 walkers showed their support for the cause of life, the unborn, and women in need by walking through downtown together, stopping to pray outside the abortion clinic, and walking back.  It was a great experience.  It was also a great way for us to see the adorable downtown section of Niles.  I hope to begin volunteering in some way at the PCC in the near future; they are such a wonderful and vital ministry in the community!

Ready to walk!

Maryn really loved the band at the park - she danced & clapped!

The new clinic - it's going to be really nice!

We love our Life Walk shirts!
