Dear Friend,
CWA of Maine highly recommends you participate in as many of the upcoming 40 Days for Life activities in Maine as possible. 40 Days for Life is a focused, pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting and peaceful vigil to end abortion.
The 40 Days for Life UNITED Tour starts tonight in front of the Supreme Court and will make stops in more than 125 cities to hold rallies and prayer vigils that will encourage Christians to stand together for the sanctity of life across the nation. 40 Days for Life is joined by partner organizations for the tour: Concerned Women for America of Maine, March for Life, Heartbeat International, Silent No More Awareness, Students for Life, and Susan B. Anthony List along with numerous city and state pro-life coalition groups.
