Inserts: Each year National Right to Life provides a new church bulletin insert to be used on Sanctity of Life Sunday. But these inserts are not just a once-a-year resource. NRL church bulletins are ongoing and so important that no pro-lifer can or should ignore them. Consider your audience. Churchgoing people are an extraordinarily important component of the pro-life movement. Not only are they generally more likely to vote, they are also typically more actively involved in their communities. This is a vital connection for any grassroots effort to make. A well-informed pro-life individual (or group) who is a member in a church has tremendous potential to spread important information to a wider, open audience. Different religious communities face different obstacles to fully making use of NRL’s church bulletin inserts. For one thing, even pro-life pastors may not be aware of their existence, or they know of them but do not know where or how to purchase them. That’s where you come in. Part of being actively pro-life is letting it be known to your community and that includes in your church. If you think it’s important, and you know your pastor cares about the life issues, then let him, or the church office, know that NRL’s inserts are available and how to get them. What if your pastor is not particularly enthusiastic about the pro-life cause? In that instance it may take a group of concerned congregants to impress upon him your own church’s stance on the issue and how important so many members of the church find it. He may have a change of heart. Worst case scenario: your pastor is pro-abortion. If so, then you know you are facing an uphill battle. But there is no reason to give up hope. Continue to pray that he and all pro-abortion individuals will understand the importance of restoring rights to unborn human children. In light of this, is there an alternative to having the bulletins inserted by the church? Consider purchasing some inserts at your own expense and pass them out to fellow churchgoers. At $5 per pack of 50 inserts, it is economical to inform any small- to medium-sized congregation. |
