Wow, is this summer flying by or what?!? The gala is less than one month away! Our speaker this year is an amazing lady whose story began sadly and violently, but is now on a track that only God could have created. Jean Marie Davis will be speaking about being trafficked from the age of two until she was around twenty! She escaped the threats, beatings, drug abuse and prostitution and found safe haven at a pregnancy resource center in New Hampshire. The dinner will be catered by The Rotisserie Restaurant this year. Register by phone or email to Devon at: [email protected] OR by calling 802-658-8046. If you have food sensitivities, we have some gluten free and vegetarian meals available, but require you let us know ASAP, as we have to order them separately, and they will only be available by pre-registration. The venue is once again at Vibrant Church, and the doors open at 5:30, with the program running from 6:00-9:00pm. Please join us!

Sorry for the long silence; summer is flying by! We are wrapping up the Baby Bottle Campaign and putting on our banquet/gala hats. As you probably already know, this is THE major fundraiser of our year, and table hosts are the backbone of the event. We need table hosts that can invite and secure confirmed registrations for at least seven other people. Each table seats eight people comfortably, and we do have table hosts that fill a few tables - which is great! You can have friends and family contact us directly by calling Devon at 802-658-8046, or emailing [email protected]. Please invite people you know who love babies, family and want to support life by donating to keep this center moving forward. We so appreciate each and every one of you, and are here to answer any questions that you may have about table hosting, or the gala in general. Thank you for your help and God bless you!

His clear, concise, and winsome approach has impacted thousands across the United States, educating the truth on abortion, and providing the tools to a growing audience, changing the mindset and consciousness of the pro-abortion population.

We are here ready to pour into lives the love and grace we've been given ourselves by knowing Jesus Christ. Not enough people have a clue as to what we really do and who we really are. We never push, we listen and want to help! Won't you please help us increase our reach? We sent this video out to our church list at the beginning of this month as the Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is Jan. 21st. We'd greatly appreciate it if you would share it with your friends as well. Thanks so much and may God bless your week! We will be closed from Friday, December 22 and reopening on January 2 for the holiday break. Deb and all the staff want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year!  Because snowy roads are almost here, we have put our mobile clinic up for the winter. We are very grateful to have found a safe storage spot, and we'll be back out in the Spring! Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped us be available this year - we appreciate you all!  We hope you can take a little time to drop by during our Christmas open house next Tuesday, Dec. 5th from 11:30-1:30! We hope you can join us!  First off, we just want you to know that we will be closed from Wednesday, Nov. 22 thru Sunday, Nov. 26 for the Thanksgiving holiday. We truly hope your Thanksgiving will a time of fellowship with friends and family, giving blessings to our creator for all of His marvelous gifts! What do we mean by "VT style"? Unless you've been away from the state for a very long time, you are aware of how badly VT has been taken over by "progressive" thinking and legislation. We have gone from a state known for it's rugged individuals, farms, muddy roads, sap buckets, church dinners and "lively" town meetings to a state where a lot of us are sitting here trying to figure what just hit us in this past decade - especially these past few years! If one is looking for things to feel down about, VT offers that in spades right now. Abortion is now the new religion, casual sex is the new drug and actual pharmaceutical drug use is at an all-time high. People who speak out against evil are punished, while our legal system is letting dangerous criminals walk freely among us. HOWEVER, we are reminded often in scripture to take our eyes off the physical and look to the eternal instead. So, for us this year, Thanksgiving VT style is being thankful for the clients who took the initiative and showed up for their appointments, the babies that made it safely into this world, the generous hearts of our donors, our health, cars that run, our warm homes, our children, our furry friends, friends that love us, food in our pantries and clothes on our backs. We are richly blessed! Take a few minutes each day this week if you can to remember how far you've come and what lies ahead for those who believe on the Son. We are princes and princesses, headed back to our heavenly Father very soon, to a home that He is preparing for us. Praise God! Give thanks!  Just a quick reminder: the annual banquet will be not this Thursday, but the next! The cut-off for registration is next Monday, Sept. 11th at 3:30pm. We will be closed Wednesday and Thursday getting ready, so please get those last-minute guest lists to us asap. Thank you all for helping with the many, many facets of putting on an event like this! IF any of you has a truck and might be able to help some of us bring tables to and from a church or two that we hope to borrow from, please reach out to Terri Seward here at the center. Thank you!  |
