Unplanned is the inspiring true story of one woman’s journey of transformation.
All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women about their reproductive choices. Her passion surrounding a woman’s right to choose even led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in.
Until the day she saw something that changed everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former enemies at 40 Days For Life, and become one of the most ardent pro-life speakers in America.
Luncheon followed by brief presentation on the work of the Martha and Mary Maternity House after the Divine Liturgy. Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am.

The event is a prayer vigil to bring the community together to remember and mourn for all of those lost to and forever impacted by abortion, as well as to hear Scripture, testimony, and a speaker about this issue.
This year’s theme is “Every Life is God’s Gift.” Our speaker will be Laura Paulus of the Martha and Mary Maternity House in Chicago. We will also have a video message from Archbishop Nathaniel, Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago.
One of the highlights of the event is the Candlelight Rose Procession, which is a somber time to pray and remember all of the babies whose lives have been taken, as well as all others who have been affected by abortion.
We would love you to extend this invitation to your Family and Friends!

The "Nones" refers to a person who is unaffiliated with any organized religion. The term is from religion surveys in which "none of the above" is the last choice listed. Dr. Nathan A. Jacobs will share his insights about the worldview of the Nones and the opportunity that this growing demographic represents for Eastern Orthodox outreach.
In part 1 of his talk, Dr. Jacobs will dispel misconceptions about the Nones and share common patterns that appear across the worldviews of many Nones.
In part 2, Dr. Jacobs will turn his attention to why Eastern Orthodoxy has a considerable opportunity to connect with many Nones.
Drawing upon his own journey, Dr. Jacobs will highlights those aspects of Western Christianity that many Nones reject, and show that Eastern Orthodoxy is of like mind with the Nones in this rejection.
Martha and Mary Maternity House, along with many other worthwhile Orthodox Christian ministries, will be present to share information about our work!
