Silent Siege Success

We had a successful silent siege this morning.  We look forward to more in the future!

Important Announcements

•  June 16th (Thursday)  Rick Torrison will be ministering to us.  Get ready and don’t miss it.  He has an anointed message for us about relationships.   
  This will be our first opportunity to bless a guest speaker.  Please ask the Holy Spirit what He thinks and feels about that.   The basket and envelops will be available and you will need to write on the giving slip that it is for Rick.  We won’t pass the basket so this is your heads up.

• June 18th (Saturday) 9 AM Silent Siege

• June 23^rd (not this Thursday but next) we will be at the Davis’s.

• July 9th (Saturday)  Seminar with Chris and Kelli Hopkins.  
• They will return from IHOP and give us an IHOP impartation LOL!  We are planning on having multiple sessions of teaching, ministry time, and worship from around 2 till 9pm at the Bridge with a break for dinner.   At this point, we have no childcare plans  (so you may want to start making your own arrangements). 
  
  

Silent Siege, June 18th!

Our first Silent Siege in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan on 29th street will be held Saturday, June 18th at 9am.  Parking is available along Sandia next to Sudden Link.  You can also park in some areas on Carter Creek.  We will meet at the Coalition for Life house at 9 for a brief before walking over the the clinic to do the Siege.  Prayer guides are attached to this e-mail and will be available that morning.  Each participant will also be asked to complete a Statement of Peace, agreeing that our presence outside of the clinic is to be a peaceful and prayerful one.  

Please familiarize yourself with the Silent Siege protocol attached (How to Do a Silent Siege and Prayer Guide).  For more information, visit bound4life.com.

You can also familiarize yourself with what goes on inside our local Planned Parenthood clinic by visiting the Coalition for Life's website.  Click on the Planned Parenthood tab.

Children are welcome to come and pray outside the clinic! If your child(ren) is old enough to stand with us and pray or young enough to be held or remain content in a stroller, please bring them with you!  For children who do not fit into either category, childcare can be arranged at Tanglewood Park just down Carter Creek.  If you would like childcare during the siege, you MUST contact me in advance so that arrangements can be made.  Please do not assume childcare will be available if you have not notified me in advance!

Hope to see you soon!
