Candlelight Vigil Was Well Attended and Uplifting Experience Continue to Pray
that Planned Parenthood WILL NOT Be Able to Open This Death Mill. |

Approximately 350 people came out on a warm summer night August 27th and lifted
up their voices in hymns and supplication to God that Planned Parenthood of Mid
and South Michigan WILL NOT succeed in opening an abortion clinic in Auburn
Hills,MI. Catholics and Protestants joined together for this event and it was
great. At least 4 Catholic priests and one Anglican priest were also in
attendance. The candlelight vigil took place right in front of 1625 N.Opdyke Rd.
in Auburn Hills, MI, the building that PP purchased last November 2010, but
still remains gutted and silent. A nearby hotel has enforced a deed restriction
against PP-- and the whole thing is going to court Sept. 7th in front of Judge
James Alexander in Oakland County Court.

Prayers are needed!!! We must continue
to pray that PP will not succeed! |
