From Katie Perrotta, President of Students for Life at Eastern Michigan University:  "We are hosting Cupcakes for Life on campus on Tuesday, March 17th. It is designed to raise awareness for those lost in abortion, those who were never able to celebrate their birthdays. We're hosting it the day of our meeting, so we'll be inviting students who stop by the table for a free cupcake to the Students for Life meeting that night! This will be very effective!" Since EMU requires cupcakes to be made by a vendor and not homemade, here is an easy way to make a donation, so that cupcakes can be purchased. Please go to: www.gofundme.com/cupcakesforlife  Deadline for donations is Friday, March 13th.

Announcing Good Friday “Interfaith Way of the Cross” at Planned Parenthood

Please join the Pro-Life Community for The Interfaith Way of the Cross for Victims of Abortion, on Good Friday, April 3rd at 10:00 am at the Planned Parenthood Abortion Facility, 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor. Through His Holy Passion, Our Lord united Himself with all the victims of suffering in this life. None suffer more innocently than children in the womb whose lives are taken by abortion. None suffer more deeply than their mothers and fathers, who carry such a burden of guilt and shame. On Good Friday we remember all the victims of abortion—the children lost, the mothers and fathers wounded, the communities blighted—in a solemn, ecumenical prayer service. More info: call or email Sandie Weathers at 734-657-1936 or 40daysforlifeannarbor@gmail.com. For updates go to:
