LEWISTON — The Lewiston-Auburn Life Chain will take place from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, along both sides of the Longley Bridge.
Local pro-lifers will line the sidewalks on both sides of the bridge and pray for an end to abortion and hold signs supporting their position on the issue.
Every year, hundreds of cities and towns across the U.S. and Canada minister the Life Chain message, and this will be the 21st year of the event taking place in the Lewiston-Auburn area. The event will take place rain or shine.
Children under close supervision are welcome, and chairs may be brought for the elderly or handicapped. Those taking part are asked to gather at 2 p.m. at Great Falls Plaza (next to the Auburn Post Office) to pick up their signs. For more information, call Ron at 782-7721.
