Walking in the Light

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You. How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD, they walk in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.” Psalm 89:14-18 (NASB)

We are rejoicing in the Lord and what He accomplished through His faithful servants this past weekend. On Saturday, more than 400 Pregnancy Care Center supporters gathered in three communities to participate in our Spring Walks for Life.

For the past couple of months, our Walk for Life prayer team has faithfully prayed for a beautiful day and God delivered! Even more beautiful to see were individuals from every denomination gathering together to support the life-affirming work of the Pregnancy Care Center. We had walkers from the Baptist, Methodist, Christian, Lutheran, Wesleyan, Church of God, Catholic, Reformed Presbyterian, Church of Christ, and Non-denominational Churches in our communities participate in the walk. With ONE voice we proclaimed to our communities as we walked that God is the Author of life and all life is sacred.

Thanks to our walkers and their generous sponsors, here’s what was raised through these spring walks (so far):
Bartholomew County
$32,376

Brown County
$7,082

Jennings County
$3,435

TOTAL: $42,893

While we just missed our budgeted goal ($45,000), we are thankful for the increase every walk experienced. This is the second year in a row revenue from the walks increased (in 2007 we raised $36,838) which is a huge blessing as we had been experiencing a decline for several years. THANK YOU Walkers! THANK YOU Sponsors! These funds will ensure that the vital life-saving ministries of the PCC can continue in our communities.

If you had planned on walking but were unable to come Saturday, remember it’s never too late to turn in your pledge form. Just mail it to the administrative office at:
