Observance of Roe V. Wade Anniversary - Grove City College

Grove City College

As many of you already know, Life Advocates is hosting Stand to Reason's Steve Wagner tonight in a special chapel service at 7 PM on this, the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Chapel credit will be offered to students. This event will probably be of interest to those in the area.
Steve Wagner trains Christian ambassadors to think clearly about human value and to be wise, gracious advocates for the unborn. His seminars repeatedly receive praise from participants, who enjoy his focus on imparting skills through interactive activities. One pastor remarked that Steve’s presentation "is the best youth workshop I have ever attended." Steve has spoken to audiences in Canada and across the United States.
