On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (January 22, 1973, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God’s gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage.
Each January we recognize Sanctity of Human Life. We recognize the impact of the legalization of abortion in the hearts and lives of individuals and families both inside the walls of our churches, in our communities, and throughout our nation.
One component of the ministry of Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services is to partner with churches, providing resources and support to inform congregations of Biblical truth specific to the value of human life.
Please give us a call to let us know how BCHFS can help you as we celebrate the gift of human life together!
Women of Compassion members and friends are invited to attend our annual WOC Forum to help decide which BCHFS special project will receive funding. Half of the income raised by the group will go toward the project of their choosing. The other half will be used to provide vital operating income for BCHFS ministry work.
Members contribute $500 annually or $50.00 for 10 Months to the Women of Compassion fund at Baptist Children’s Home & Family Services within one calendar year. Members can pay securely online by visiting BCHFS.com and clicking on the “Give Now” button at the top of the page..
