Walk for Life - The Metzger Family Needs Your Support!

Posted in ProLife

"Let your compassion come to me that I may live."

Psalm 119:77

This spring, April 25th 2009, all 8 Metzger children - Annalise, Kaitlyn, Ethan, Trey, Jake, Julia, Ellie, and Judah - and their parents, Mark and Lisa, are taking on a new family ministry by participating in an important event in our community. The Pregnancy Resource Center is having a city-wide Walk for Life. We are asking our neighbors, friends and family to sponsor us. Will you be willing to be one of our sponsors, as we seek to raise money for The Pregnancy Resource Center, so that they may continue to provide loving options for both mothers and pre-born babies?

If you would like to participate with us by being one of our sponsors, we would really appreciate it, and the pre-born babies would be eternally grateful, as well! Sponsorship is for the event, not per mile, and gifts of any amount are tax-deductible. Our goal, in our family ministry, is to raise $20 per person in our family - a total of $200! Of course, the more we raise, the better! :)

The Center we will be representing is a non-profit Christian ministry, which served over 3,000 clients in 2008. Many of these clients are teens and women who are faced with difficult circumstances in their pregnancy and need the emotional support and practical assistance offered for FREE at the Center. The Pregnancy Resource Center is a confidential, Christ-centered ministry that empowers individuals to make life-affirming choices in today's world. Your sponsorship will enable them to continue their efforts in impacting the Greater Charlotte area by providing these various services.

Every Walk Dollar Helps:

  • Teens hear the challenge of abstinence with one-on-one peer counseling.
  • Pregnant women hear the truth about their options, while we pray that they will choose life for their pre-born child within them!
  • Provide limited ultrasound, which helps women see the life that is within them, so that they can make a more informed decision.
  • Young moms-to-be to prepare for birth and parenting challenges.
  • Needy families can earn vouchers for baby items by attending HOPE classes.
  • Struggling women find emotional and spiritual recovery after an abortion in the PATH support program and/or through individual counseling.
  • Clients learn and hear about the love and forgiveness of Jesus!
Our goal is to raise $200 (or more!) to help save babies and help mothers!
 
If you want to sponsor us in this LIFE-saving and LIFE-changing event, please fill out the section below by printing it out and mailing it back to us by April 15th (tax day!). To donate to this worthy cause, please make all checks payable to The Pregnancy Resource Center and send it to the address below.

Another way you can help is to check with The Pregnancy Resource Center in your area to see how you can participate in your local Walk For Life!
 
We pray that this will be able to help many mothers and save many precious lives for years to come! Thank you for your support of LIFE - born and pre-born!
 
Many Blessings To You,
Mark, Lisa, Annalise, Kaitlyn, Ethan, Trey, Jake, Julia, Ellie & Judah Metzger

Mar. 23, 2009 - Regarding your homeschool blog

Posted by Anonymous
I was happy to discover your A Second Generation of Homeschooling blog today. I was unable to find an email or profile link in your blog. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her their words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.

I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in A Second Generation of Homeschooling. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. Finally, there's a page targeted to homeschooling families at http://www.spellquizzer.com/spelling-software-for-homeschoolers.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you very much!
