Category: General National Life Chain Sunday [Grand Rapids, MI]


Sun, 10/1

Annually, on the first Sunday in October, LIFE CHAIN invites the churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for 90 minutes, while holding one of the following approved pro-life sign messages:

  • ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN
  • JESUS FORGIVES AND HEALS
  • ADOPTION: THE LOVING OPTION
  • LORD, FORGIVE US AND OUR NATION
  • ABORTION HURTS WOMEN
  • PRAY TO END ABORTION
  • LIFE—THE FIRST INALIENABLE RIGHT 

We are focusing on National Life Chain Sunday 2017—to be held October 1, Lord willing, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm in each time zone across the U.S. and Canada.  Shortly before 2:00pm on Life Chain Sunday, signs may be picked up at one of these locations:

  • Crestwood School on 44th Street just east of Breton Road,
  • Southeast corner of 44th Street and Buchanan Avenue,
  • Cookes at Brummel's parking lot near the northwest corner of 44th Street and Clyde Park Avenue,
