OR Right To Life Oratory Contest

This is a special message for high school juniors and seniors: 

Researching the issues affecting the beginning and end of life, coming to an educated conclusion on these issues, and learning to articulate them are vital skills--and I’d like to tell you about an upcoming opportunity to do just that:  The Jackson County chapter of Oregon Right to Life is sponsoring an oratory contest.  Think of this as an opportunity to study what is meant when we use the phrase “sanctity of life”, to discuss the issues with your parents, pastors, and friends, and develop the skills to articulate your ideas.  

Participants in this competition will prepare and deliver a 5-7 minute speech focusing on abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, or stem cell research.   These are the issues you will be making decisions about and voting on in the very near future.  They are issues foundational to our humanity and it is so important that you use your energy, your intelligence and your voice to speak out for the sanctity of life.

The contest will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 7pm, at Cornerstone Christian Church. Deadline for registration is February 25. Please contact Veronika Comerchero at (541)245-2959 to register. Once you register with your name and address, I will send you a packet with further information.

Love Notes Project

From Rachel Olstad:

Here’s some info for a simple yet meaningful community service project – and it can double up as art. Better yet, throw a Valentines party for your homeschool friends and do the project together!
 
*It’s LOVE NOTES sponsored by Joni and Friends Southern Oregon:*
Bless and encourage a family affected by disability with a Valentine. Last year we collected over 4000 Valentines that we mailed to 80 homes. Help us meet or even surpass this amount!

Be part of this exciting ministry by making or buying Valentines. Include a Bible verse or a word of encouragement, and if you wish, a small gift such as candy, gift certificates, DQ tokens, etc. 

We will need your Valentines by February 7, 2014
. You can either mail or deliver the Valentines. 

MAIL TO:
