To let everyone know and call forth all volunteers, on March 2nd and 3rd the Knights of Columbus are hosting “Smoking in the Square” in Downtown Pensacola’s Seville Square. It’s a chili cook off, and there will be a lot of people there. Florida Teens for Life has been offered a free table set up for us to pass out Pro-Life information and show our faces as youth who stand for life. Please, and as soon as possible, contact me (Click here for email) if you are able volunteer some of your time on that Saturday or Sunday to relax with some friends and speak to people will be coming up and asking us questions. It will be a great way to practice what we just learned at the Apologetics Training too. We need an ample number of volunteers spaced throughout the day so we have a few people there at a time, so once again let me know if you are able to.

Thanks so much and God Bless,
Hunter

Our next event is coming up soon though. This Saturday, February 18th, Aaron Chatraw will be leading us in a Pro-Life Apologetics workshop. This is going to be a great experience for both our most experienced and our newest members, because we all know how hard it can be, especially as teens, to answer those hard questions we’re all faced with as Pro-lifers.

For details and directions, please contact me (Click here for email). We are hosting this event at the Langevins’ house which is out near the fairgrounds. So if you need a ride please let me know as well and we’ll try our best to get you there. Thanks to everyone.

God bless and thanks again,
Hunter

Spring is just around the corner and with the spring comes new life. Always. Birds’ eggs hatch, flowers blossom, babies are born, and Florida Teens for Life is preparing for just as prosperous a spring as well.
Our next event is going to be February’s Pro-Life Rosary. It will be hosted Feb. 3, 2012 at 6:00pm by, me, Hunter, in absence of Bernadette, our director, as she prepares for the birth of her new son. We will be meeting to pray the Rosary for an end to abortion and we will watch a pro-life movie following the Rosary. I hope everyone can come and be with us. There will be food by the way, so expect some snacks and drinks to fill your hungry bellies. If you would like more information please contact me for my address, directions, and if you would like to bring a dish or desert to share with the group. (Click here for email) God bless you all and I look forward to seeing each of you.

Thanks,
Hunter

If you have been busy all fall and would like to fit in a Teens for Life activity before the year is out, now is the time!  This week we will have Teens for Life’s last events for 2011.

Thursday Night Meeting:  The Pro-life response to the Sexual Revolution.

 Many things came out of the sexual revolution, including abortion.  You most likely won’t hear about that in your average history class, but it’s true.  The ideology of the sexual revolution is that sex is no longer “bound” to marriage – but is now “free” to be expressed whenever and with whomever and without consequences.  As you can imagine, this philosophy can create a lot of havoc.  It created a lot of unplanned STDs that have become a major epidemic in our world today.  It caused men and women to lose respect for one another, to use and abuse each other.  It led to the devaluing of human life which naturally flows from intercourse.  In totality, the sexual revolution has been no revolution at all.  Rather it is a devolution of the understanding of human sexuality, a warped view of what it means to be human.  This ideology teaches that human beings are no longer worthy of respect, but objects for use and abuse.  Children are no longer valued.  Parents no longer stay together.  As you can see today, we are living in a world of heartache and despair.  The sexual revolution promised peace and happiness via “freedom from sexual morality.”  In reality, true freedom comes from self-mastery and the virtue of humility which enables us to love ourselves and others for who we truly are.

*Come to our Thursday night meeting at 5PM to learn about being pro-life in our own life, so we avoid giving in to the sexual revolution culture which is the seed that gave fruit to our society’s acceptance and legalization of abortion.  What is chastity and why is it essential to being pro-life?  As usual, the meeting will be at my house, so if you need directions shoot me an email.

Saturday morning Christmas Party/Alpha Center Service Day:

From 10AM to 2PM at the Alpha Center (6004 Pernella Rd, Pensacola), you can be a Teens for Life Christmas elf!  Families helped by the Alpha Center often cannot celebrate Christmas with presents and holiday food like we do.  Make a difference in the lives of these children and parents by wrapping up Christmas presents for them!  We will be helping out the Alpha Center as well as having some early Christmas fun!  Everyone should bring their favorite Christmas dessert and CD.  If you want to wear a Christmas outfit- be my guest!  Put on an elf hat or reindeer antlers – whatever gets you in the mood for the party!  This will be our end of the year party – so I hope everyone can come.

Blessings!

Bernadette

Yesterday, a vigil participant, was approached by a woman.  This woman parked
her car and proceeded to speak with those praying in front of the 9th Avenue
abortion facility.  The woman told everyone, “Keep it up.  Keep praying in front
of this place.  Your prayers have made the difference in my daughters life.  She
was inside this very abortion facility two weeks ago.  She distinctly recalls
the people praying in front of the clinic.  It was the presence of those in
prayer that convinced her to keep her baby.  Thank you for helping to save my
granddaughters life.”

What an amazing story!  Thank you, Jesus!  More lives saved!  Thank you to all
those that have prayed in front of the 9th Avenue abortion facility.  Your
prayer have made a tremendous difference!  God Bless you all!

-40 Days for Life Pensacola email from November 1st 2011

In these last days of 40 Days for Life, invite your parents and friends to pray in front of the abortion clinic.  Your loving presence, especially as a family is a powerful witness to hope and to God’s love for every human child and every mother and father.  Thank you all for your participation in 40 Days for Life, hope to see you at the victory rally this Sunday.  We will be releasing balloons in front of the 9th Avenue abortion clinic at 4PM and then having the victory rally at 6:30PM at the St. Anne’s Belleview parish hall.  Come celebrate with us!

Unfortunately, I have recently begun having a great deal of pain standing and walking at this point in my pregnancy and will be needing to take it easy on the physical strain now.  This event would just be too hard on me at this point and now having car problems has only further complicated the event plans.  We will plan to do this event next year as it is a great opportunity to spread vital information about breast cancer risk prevention.

This Thursday night’s meeting is still on, so please plan to be at my house at 6PM for a highly educational presentation.  We will learn about abortion’s affect on women’s health, the psychological mindset that leads to acceptance of abortion, and how the Planned Parenthood model of family planning is killing and wounding women.  Don’t miss this meeting – you will very likely meet people who will challenge you on your pro-life beliefs on how to “prevent the need for abortion” and accuse you of being “anti-woman” and only “pro-baby” as a pro-lifer.  As always, invite your teenage friends to this meeting – and don’t forget to eat dinner before the meeting, we will provide dessert and drinks.

God bless!

Bernadette
