MADISON — “As 40 peaceful days of prayer, fasting, vigil, and outreach draw to a conclusion, we will meet at Planned Parenthood, 3706 Orin Rd., Madison, on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 2 p.m. to rejoice in the victories that God has accomplished,” said Gwen Finnegan, who is coordinating the 40 Days for Life campaign in Madison.
Some of the highlights of the current campaign include:
• More than 40 churches working together
• 500-plus volunteers contributing 1,920 hours of service to the community“We want to conclude this effort by sharing stories about what 40 Days for Life has meant for Madison and to offer thanksgiving for this opportunity to point out the harm abortion has done — and continues to do — to our city and its surrounding communities,” said Finnegan.
“We pray that these 40 days will help mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Madison.”
Speakers at the 40 Days for Life closing prayer vigil include Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison.
“Though this prayer vigil may conclude our 40 Days for Life campaign, it only marks a beginning of renewed commitment to ending abortion in our community. We look forward to seeing what God has in store next for Madison,” said Finnegan.
40 Days for Life is a peaceful, highly-focused, non-denominational initiative that focuses on 40 days of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil at abortion facilities, and grassroots educational outreach.
The 40-day time frame is drawn from examples throughout Biblical history.
