Auburn Seminary honors two women from Planned Parenthood
Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and Cecilia Guthrie Boone, Chair of the PPFA Board, were among four honorees at Auburn Seminary's 16th Annual Lives of Commitment Benefit Breakfast held May 2nd. The purpose of the event is to "honorwomen who bridge religious divides, build community, and pursue justice" according to the invitation posted on Auburn's website. Clearly they do not mean justice for lives in the womb. Planned Parenthood is the biggest abortion provider in the United States, aborting 300,000 innocent babies each year.

EPC Congregation hears PPL vision
Shiloh Presbyterian Church in St. Mary's, PA hosted a Sunday evening community worship service last month with an emphasis on the value bestowed by God on human life. PPL's Executive Director, Marie Bowen
shared with the ecumenical crowd PPL's vision to equip churches in the broader Presbyterian and Reformed Community until Every Church, Everywhere, Cherishes Every Life. Catholics, Baptists, and Presbyterians who attended the meeting and who have long been involved in praying and working politically to end abortion in our nation were thrilled to hear fresh ideas for congregational ministry to women who are pregnant and to those who have experienced abortion and suffer silently in our pews.

Come
Come to Pittsburgh and join the PPL GA Team in giving testimony to committees, passing out Daily Delivery, and assisting commissioners. Contact Marie for more information.
Give
Every part of our General Assembly is expensive. Our volunteers have made sacrifices by taking vacation time, paying for their own accommodations, travel, and meals. Will you help us to support them with resources for commissioners, to print the Daily Delivery they will hand out, and as they warmly welcome commissioners and visitors to our hospitality suite? Will you help us provide accommodations for our skilled team volunteering time and equipment to do daily video updates? Will you help us pay for an exhibit booth that visually witnesses to the fact that God cherishes life and where our volunteer staff minister to individuals in the sometimes painful circumstances surrounding life issues and abortion experience? Frankly we cannot do it without your help. Please give generously to support our team.
Donate online now.
Serve
Maybe you live in the Pittsburgh area and would like to support PPL's effort, but prefer to do so in a less visible way. We need supplies for our hospitality room (soft drinks, coffee supplies, breakfast and lunch items, cookies & brownies, paper products). Contact Marie for more information.
