40 Days for Life
Fall - 2009 / OTTAWA
"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me And, on the contrary: As you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me" (Matthew. 25, 35-36).
The 40 Days for Life Fall 2009 Campaign in Ottawa came to a close on Sunday November 1st with about 120 people attending the closing rally at Ground Zero. There were some very inspiring speeches including the one by Doris, our valiant head Sidewalk Counsellor. The service at St. George's Anglican Church was very prayerful and uplifting with the talented Michael Trolly gracing us with his musical abilities.
