Final chance to Register for the Alpha Course.
Our Fall Alpha Course is starting soon.
Invite your family and friends to join us
Wednesdays at 7:00 PM at St. Luke’s Church,

Alpha is a place to explore the Christian faith with others. It’s a series of conversations focused on the questions
of life, faith, and meaning.
Each session includes a time to share a meal and connect with others, hear a talk on some element of faith, and then
a chance for people to share their own questions and perspectives with the group.
The deadline for registration is September 1, 2021.

Every day, more than 3,000 children are killed through abortion and their bodies discarded as medical waste. It's time to honor their lives and give them the dignity that the tragedy of abortion denied them.
On Saturday, September 25th, at 1:00 PM Right to Life of Northeast Ohio will sponsor an interfaith memorial service on the annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, calling on pro-life Americans to honor the gravesites and memorials of our aborted brothers and sisters.
This year, our primary focus will be a memorial service and burial for the aborted child found in the trash this past summer at the Northeast Ohio Women's Center abortion clinic in Cuyahoga Falls.
The service will be held at 1:00 PM at
Holy Cross Cemetery
100 E. Waterloo Rd.
Akron, OH 44319
For further information see Bud Pallotta or
contact Right to Life of Northeast Ohio (330-762-2785)
