PRESENT: Carol Pierce, Lynn Hahn, Dennis Dylong and Kim Haverstock
The Tree for Life was set up in the church narthex and decorated with ornaments from three different pro-life pregnancy centers. The pregnancy centers' wish items are available both from the actual tree ornaments and on-line at the hfcmn.org website. Donations can be given through January 23rd. The Respect for Life group plans to meet again on January 24 to sort the donations. Additional disciples would be welcome to help with this. The meeting will be in the Fr. Wilkins room in the church basement at 7pm. There are no plans for a February meeting. (See update for future meeting dates below).
The Baby Bottle Campaign (BBC) was discussed. The Respect for Life Group will be coordinating this with Holy Family Academy. We will work out the details with Rochelle Horineck who is the school liaison for this. It is tentatively planned for later this month.
Upcoming pro-life speakers are being sought for February/March. Noah Maldonado will get speaker(s).
New leadership for Respect for Life. The group is currently co-chairing leadership and responsibilities in the absence of a president. If you are gifted in leadership and have an interest in this area, this is an opportunity to serve the precious unborn and their mothers.
UPDATE Re Future Meetings For Respect For Life: Going forward the meetings will be held on the 2nd Monday of each month.
However since there is no meeting for February, the Next Meeting is March 14 at 7pm. Place to be determined.
Respectfully submitted by
Kim Haverstock
Secretary
