Procession of Roses for Life Rogers AR

January 16, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0

To honor the unborn and to mark the anniversary of Roe v Wade, there will be a short Procession of Roses for the Unborn.

ALL are welcome to attend the Procession of Roses, Saturday, 1/16/2021 from 7:00 – 8:00p at the First Church of the Nazarene in Rogers.
We are currently seeking to fill with people born in years: 1978, 1986, 1992, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2017.
This is a beautiful and heart moving ceremony as a representative from each year since the Roe v Wade decision, will carry a rose for babies that were aborted in their respective year.
Please ask friends and family to attend – especially those who recognize the human dignity of our most vulnerable children. In addition to memorializing the unborn, this is also a great tool for pro-life evangelization! We hope to see you there!

The Pastor will announce, “1973.” A bell will toll. Then, one person born in 1973 will walk to the altar and place a white rose (symbol of innocence and purity), in a vase and stand at the altar. The overhead screen will display the number of abortions in 1973. The pastor then announces, “1974.” A bell will toll. Then, one person born in 1974 walks to the altar, places their rose and the overhead displays the number of abortions in 1974. This continues up to the year 2021 with a pregnant woman representing the babies who will be aborted this year. At the end, there will be 48 people standing at the altar, each representing over 900,000 people aborted in the year of their birth.

This solemn ceremony dramatizes the tragedy of an almost incomprehensible number of people who have been lost. The number of abortions cannot – must not – be a number. They are individuals who God knows by name. We will do our best to remember and honor them.
