The Balboa Baptist Church, Faith Lutheran Church, Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church and Village Bible Church will co-sponsor and participate in the Crosses for Life Memorial in the Village this year during the month of September.  This statewide outreach project was originally started by Benton County Right-to-Life and is now managed by Arkansas Right-to-Life.

The crosses represent some of the 3,700 preborn children that die daily in the United States of America due to abortion.  The display at each of the churches is to memorialize those children who were aborted and increase public awareness of the devastating effects of abortion.  As you drive by the churches and see the crosses, please say a prayer for the end of abortion in the United States.  Saint Mother Teresa was a champion of life and was quoted saying the following:  "And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another."

Crosses were erected at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and will be displayed for the month of September.  An ecumenical service is planned for September 9, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Faith Lutheran Church on DeSoto Boulevard.
