Stand True stands up for Life

Remember the Student's Day of Silent Solidarity (renamed Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity) held every October? Stand True Ministries, the event's organizer, is holding March for Life weekend activities as well. From the Stand True website --

Our hotel block is now full, but we want to invite anyone to join us for any of the events over the weekend.

Here is a tentative schedule of Stand True's Events:

Friday Night: Arrive in D.C. - Evening meeting and prayer at the Holiday Inn

Saturday Morning: We will be starting our 24-hour prayer vigil at 8:00 a.m. at the Washington Surgi-center near the campus of George Washington University. At 10:00 a.m. we will do a one-mile prayer walk to Planned Parenthood. We will pray at Planned Parenthood, as a group, until 12:00 Noon and then break into shifts for the rest of the 24 hours. We will maintain our presence at Planned Parenthood until 6:00 PM, at which time we will move the prayer vigil indoors.

Saturday Afternoon: We will continue the 24-hour prayer vigil, in shifts, until 8:00 am on Sunday morning. When not on shift, Saturday afternoon will be free time to see some of Washington D.C.

Saturday Evening: Saturday evening we will be having a pizza party followed by our pro-life movie and discussion time. Stand True has always stressed how pro-life is more than just anti-abortion. This year's movie selection is about another form of inhumanity that is taking place in the world against precious little children. We will be showing the movie, The Invisible Children, and having a discussion time afterwards. We will have staff from Invisible Children at the screening of the movie.

Sunday Morning: We will meet in the lobby of the Holiday Inn at 7:30 a.m. for the last half hour of the 24-hour prayer vigil. Everyone is free to attend any local church. We will also be holding a prayer time and Bible study that morning at the Hyatt.

Sunday Afternoon: We will be leaving from the Hyatt Regency lobby at 1:00 p.m. and going to Arlington National Cemetery.

Sunday Evening: Stand True will be hosting their annual Candle Light Prayer Vigil at the Supreme Court starting at 5:45 PM. We will meet in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency at 5:15 p.m. and walk over at 5:30 p.m.. We will then return to the Hyatt Regency for an evening rally hosted by CEC for Life, with praise music and Bryan Kemper speaking.

Monday: We will be attending the National Memorial for the Unborn in the Dirksen Senate Building at 8:30 AM. We will leave the Dirksen Senate Building at 10:30 a.m. to get to the March for Life site where we will be passing out postcards, promoting Stand True and the Official March for Life t-shirt. The march will begin around 1:00 p.m. and end around 3:00 p.m.. We will get together for one last picture at the end of the March for Life before we say goodbye.

Again, we welcome anyone to join us for any of the events. If you plan on attending the pizza and movie night, but are not staying in the hotel with us, we will ask for a $5 donation towards the food and room rental. We will also need to know if you are coming ahead of time, as spots are limited. E-mail us at info@standtrue.com to reserve a spot for the pizza and movie night.

If you would like to march with Stand True we will be meeting on the North West Corner of 7th and Madison on the Mall at 11:30 a.m.. Please let us know if you will be marching with us by sending an e-mail to sarah@standtrue.com
