WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GET TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD?
PRAY!!!
"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us." 1 John 5:14
"“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work" - Oswald Chambers
Pray on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Signs are not required. If you must bring signs please no graphic signs. We have limited numbers of our new "I Am Human" and 40 Days for Life, "Pray to End Abortion" in English and Spanish- to lend. Call 651-797-6363
Please do not stand or walk near the sidewalk counselors by the driveway. Do not speak to Planned Parenthood clients, staff, escorts or vendors. The easiest way to do this is to pray between the sidewalk entrance (double glass doors) of Planned Parenthod and Charles Ave. We must leave enough room for a pedestrian to pass.
Respect the prayer traditions that are differ from yours and remain peaceful.
Only follow directions from City of St. Paul or other public law enforcement. Private security only have authority on their own (Planned Parenthood) property. They can request we move off their property, they cannot touch you. Comply with whatever directions law enforcemnt give you- whether you agree with them or not, then contact our office. For any incident emergency or non-emergency CALL 911-THEN call our office 651-797-6363
PARKING & PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Do not park in ANY PARKING LOT in the surrounding area whether the business is open or not, you WILL BE TOWED. You can park on Vandalia St. north of Charles Ave, Pillsbury street by Mc'Donalds'. Do not purchase an item at McDonald's and then leave your car in their lot, you will be towed. We strongly suggest that you car-pool to the site. At all times read the street signs closely.
Public Transportation: MTC Bus Route# 16 ask for Vandalia St. stop, or the Raymond Avenue stop on Light Rail.
There MAY NOT be a Pro-Life Action Ministries staff person at the site for all times and dates, if you have any concerns call 651.797.6363
There may be counter-protestors during your vigil. Ignore them and concentrate on prayer. Stay up by the corner of Charles and Vandalia. If they disrupt your event by breaking into a prayer circle, shouting in your face, using a bull-horn in your face or close to your ears, film them with your cell phone and call 911 and then our office 651-797-6363. Leave a detailed description of what happened date and time. Email a report as well to brian.walker@plam.org with your full name and phone number. Do not get into an arguement with counter-protestors, it feeds their ego and fills their social media.
PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE IF THERE WILL BE MORE THAN 25 PARTICIPANTS AT ONE TIME.
Rev. Brian Walker, Program Director 651.797.6363
