Friday Mornings 8:30–11:00 a.m. @ Planned Parenthood
As a reminder, all are welcome to come and pray every Friday morning from 8:30–11:00 a.m. at Planned Parenthood in Ithaca, to be available to offer life-affirming options to women considering abortions. This summer, a couple who had been praying there and seeking to adopt a baby had their prayers answered—a baby was saved from abortion and will be adopted into a loving home!

Ithaca 40 Days for Life | September 23 – November 1, 2020
The 40 Days for Life Vigil is a 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility in communities nation wide. It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 24-hour-a-day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion. This is a national, coordinated effort; vigils take place at abortion facilities simultaneously nationwide.
The next vigil will occur September 23 through November 1, 2020, and the Ithaca community will participate. Please visit https://www.40daysforlife.com/ithaca or contact Becky Fluger at 607-749-4855 or Ithaca40daysforlife2020@gmail.com for more information.
