Good Afternoon,

What if someone told you that you could help a child from being subject to...

·             Poverty?

·             Being raised in a single-parent home?

·             Teen Pregnancy?

·             Neglect?

Would you want to help? You can.

First Priority is partnering with Lifeline Children's Services to educate teens about the long-term consequences of teen pregnancy. The program, "Decisions, Choices & Options: Facts about Teen Pregnancy," began in 2002 and started with one high school and is now in over 40 schools in the Middle Tennessee area and has recently expanded to cover the states of Alabama and Mississippi. This classroom presentation begins with the message of abstinence and then reveals the difficult truth about each of the options facing a teen in an unplanned pregnancy: parenting, abortion and adoption. The option of adoption rises to the top as the most beneficial choice of the three. To our knowledge, there is no other curriculum like this one in our state that includes information on all of a pregnant teen's options.

If you are interested in taking this ministry opportunity into your local high schools and community, please attend a brief interest meeting and training on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the office of Lifeline, 2104 Rocky Ridge Road, Birmingham, AL, 35216. Our time together will include an overview of the actual PowerPoint Presentation and video(s) and further explanation of the needs and benefits of the program. There are opportunities for willing volunteers to co-lead presentations and to help us make connections with teachers, school administrators and youth leaders to get a foot in the door of other schools and churches.

In Christ,
