We'll tell you how to get involved, but first and tell me a little bit about life Chain and what this event is all about.
Oh you bet, Thank you so much for having me John. So, life Chain is an hour of public, peaceful prayer and it serves as a witness for the unborn and we're standing in unity for the dignity of human life. So what we do is we basically are praying and then go out and live what we believe, which is first to love God and then it's to love our neighbor as ourselves, no matter their size, their age, or their level of development. So a little history on life Chain.
It began in nineteen eighty seven in California and it's grown to over fifteen hundred communities across the US and Canada, and it's always every first Sunday of October. So this year it's on the fifth.
Very nice and Seue Falls Area. Right to Life is who's putting this on Sue Falls Area. Right toolife dot org is their website, and there's a lot of people needed to pull off an event like this. It's going to be the north sidewalk of forty first Street from South Sirtoma to Southwestern Avenue. That is a whole lot of people. That's a couple miles, isn't it.
I think I measured about three and a half miles. Yes, yes, So it is a long chain and life chain is built on the promise we see from second Chronicle seven fourteen, which is to humble, prey, seek and turn back to God. And our desire is to heal our land and restore a culture of life.
I love that. And if you would like to be involved in this, this is something super simple, super easy to be involved in. All you do show up on Sunday, October fifth. It's from two pm to three pm and they've got signs printed, they've got everything coordinated, everything's ready. All we have to do is show up.
Yes, you bet, and and you know the nice thing too, is we reach out to many churches and so multiple denominations are involved. United together as well as other pro life groups like Jacks for Life and the Signs. We hold a firm the negligenable right to life and show our love for mothers in an unexpected situation as well as we're in repentance and also in the memory of the many innocent lives that have been murdered. In fact,
it's sixty six million since nineteen seventy three. That's like three thousand a day most recently, so it's a nine to eleven every day. It's very serious and as Mother Teresa once said, are any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. And we've of course recently seen what happen happens when human life is not respected.
So where you can go is to get a sign is to Life Change Church parking lot at sixty three hundred West forty first or at O'Gorman High School parking lot. You can pick up a sign. If your church has a designated block, go to that block. Or if you don't have a church affiliation and just want to show up, just come a little bit early, at least fifteen minutes early, so you can find your way to a sidewalk so you can go right there along Life Change Church or
Bio Gorman. If you don't have another place to go, We would welcome anybody, and if you can't stand for an hour, bring a lawn chair. Kids are welcome in strollers. We suggest people try to stand ten to twenty five feet apart because people can read the signs better as they're driving along.
And I really like that. Again, you're not holding hands, you're not blocking intersections, you're not crossing the street, blocking streets, so people can go about their way, they can ride past, they can see that there's a bunch of people out to support this in a very positive, loving way, and they have wonderful signs. So again, the thing that's really nice about this, it's a peaceful event and it's not a negative thing for anybody. It's not causing any sort
of harm. It's not stopping people from their daily route. So get out and be a part of it.
Yes, definitely. And you know, if we're to love our neighbors as ourselves, we want to start with the tiny humans because they're the most vulnerable neighbor we have and it is very peaceful. We have children of all ages, so we love seeing the babies and strollers that accompany their parents showing our love for life.
And thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us about it. Again. Sue Falls Area Right to Life puts on this event and we've had a chance to visit every year the last few years. I always look forward to talking to you. It's a very nice event that you guys put on.
Yes, I so appreciate you you letting me have the time to talk about it.
Absolutely again, it's the sux Falls Area Right to Life event called Life Chains Happen opening Sunday from two pm to three pm and Sue Falls If you'd like to be a part of it, and hundreds of people will be. You can get all the details now at Sioux Falls Area right to Life dot org.
