The CPC Baby Bottle Program is beginning. Did you know that 72% of women who have an abortion claim a religious affiliation? Abortion is something that many women, regardless of their faith, can feel pressured to conside when facing an unexpected pregnancy. You can make a difference by filling a baby bottle with change and bills. We are partnering with Pregnancy Resources to reach abortion-vulnerable women with help, hope, and healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Bring back your filled-up bottle to the church by Feb. 5th or 12th.
