Hartford, WI – The annual, national Life Chain event returns to West Bend and Hartford on Sunday, October 4, 2020.
The Life Chain in West Bend will take place from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. on the corner of Paradise and Main. Organizers are meeting a few minutes beforehand for a prayer and to distribute signs.
Beginning at 2 p.m., in Hartford pro-life individuals and families from Washington County will gather at the east parking lot of Willowbrook Park and spread out along Highway 60 (E. Sumner Street).
Held each year on the first Sunday of October, Life Chain is a legal, peaceful, quiet display of people in our area communities gathering to publicly and silently state that there are alternatives to abortion and healing is possible.
There are no disturbing images for passing motorists, only thought-provoking statements including “Adoption, the Loving Option,” “Jesus
Forgives and Heals,” and “Pregnant? Need Help? 800-712-HELP.”
The display will line Highway 60 in Hartford until 3:30 p.m., in unison with other Life Chains across the country.
From its small beginnings as a local witness in Southern California, the Life Chain has spread to more than 2,000 cities all over North America. The first Sunday of each October is National Life Chain Sunday.
We believe it is time for the Church to fight for the unborn with spiritual weapons. The battle for life will not be won in the courtroom or the voting booth until it is first won in prayer. We call for pastors to lead the Church in repentance for our nation. When God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their own ways, we believe that God will hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14-15).
Uniform signs will be available free of charge on October 4 at Willowbrook Park’s east parking lot. On the back of each sign, participants will find Scripture and praise-and-hymn lyrics.
