1st day of vigil

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Today was our first official day of vigil in front of the Planned Parenthood Express! Thank you all for coming together to make this vigil possible. Thank you for answering the call to pray as a united Body of Christ. St. Michael Catholic church started off the day with 8 disciples vigilantly praying! Due to the efforts of our dedicated volunteers we were able to put Christ centered educational information into at least 4 hands today! I don't know the exact number because I was not there for the last shift. Tomorrow St Gabriel has done an incredible job of signing up volunteers to come pray!

There are a few areas that I need to bring everyone attention to:

SIGNING IN:
Please remember to sign in when you arrive. We are doing this mainly to be sure that everyone who participates has signed the statement of peace. Of course, we also would like to know how many people have participated at the end of the vigil. If you have not signed a statement of peace before you arrive - there are plenty of blanks in 'the box'. All the documents are clearly labeled inside 'the box'. All information will be kept COMPLETELY confidential, and will not be sold/distributed to anyone. The only use for the names and contact information is for the vigil use and HOPE resource center.

JOURNAL:
I have left a journal on site in 'the box' so anyone can make notes and see others notes from previous days & times. Prayer intentions can also be added to the journal.

SUNSCREEN:
I will try to get a small sunscreen into 'the box' tomorrow. In case it disappears - I suggest everyone bring sunscreen. I did not use sunscreen today - and I was under the canopy all day - and I have a pretty bad sunburn on my face and scalp. I would not want this to happen to anyone else, so let's protect ourselves.

WATER & RESTROOMS:
Water & Restrooms are available in the Nail Salon for any vigil volunteer!

PARKING:
Remember to park away from the front of the businesses.
