Gabriel Project News

Pregnant?  Need help?  Call the Gabriel Project - 284-5683

Have you seen our billboard?  Let's pray that seeing it will move the hearts of many pregnant mothers to spare the life of her unborn child.  The billboard has been moved around to several locations so far this year and it is effective at generating phone calls from women in need. 

Respect Life/Gabriel Project Wish List


BABY BEDS NEEDED FOR GABRIEL PROJECT - When that momentous day comes when your little one is moving up to their big boy or big girl bed, please consider donating their baby bed to the Gabriel Project. There is an ongoing
need for baby beds for almost every mother we serve. If your bed is gently used and you would be willing to gift it to another child in need, please contact Judy Liston, 246-8150. A tax donation receipt will be supplied upon request.

Gabriel Project is always in need of more help.  If you are interested in demonstrating the love of God to women with unplanned pregnancies by being a Gabriel Angel or making a financial donation to our ministry, please contact Judy Liston at 246-8150.

Thank You!!

NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING

SAVE THE PLANET -- GO "GREEN", USE NFP
Contraceptives contain estrogen in amounts higher than a woman's natural levels.  These hormones are expelled from her body through her urine and eventually end up in local water treatment plants which are not equipped to filter them.  Click on these links to read articles that explain the dramatic way our society's "moral environment" impacts our "material environment".  Are we serious about water pollution?  Use Natural Family Planning and protect your health, your soul, and the environment!
