Parades

“Muskegon County Right to Life” in the Fruitport Old Fashioned Days Parade

Thank you for joining us on Memorial Day, May 28, 2018!

Muskegon County Right to Life has participated in the Fruitport Old Fashioned Days Parade on Memorial Day for over 10 years We began as a small group of 10 or 12 in a parade that remembers those who courageously gave their lives for our freedom.

Parents, Grandparents, children of all ages, and babies in strollers have expanded our group to over 200 people! Some walk, some ride the float, all come and share in our positive and upbeat music and message which has been "I Just want to Celebrate" (Rare Earth), "Speak Life" (TobyMac) and "It's Wonderful Life (Mi Oh My)" from the kids's movie Angry Birds.

Along the route, we handed out candy, colorful leis and roses with a card that said "It's a Wonderful Life because of you!" along with information on our website and Facebook for those who'd like to get more information.

Parades are an opportunity to make more people aware that there is a “Muskegon County Right to Life”! Many people - families, adults, students and children - walk with us, or ride on our float. Our themes and our message have been positive and upbeat, and participation continues to grow. We hope you'll join us next year!

Prolife Speakers

If you would like someone to speak at your church, school or organization, we would welcome the opportunity to share information on life issues that threaten human life from conception to natural death. Please give us the opportunity to share loving and compassionate information on life issues of which many are not aware. Abortion takes the most lives, nearly 3,000 every day in our country. Statistics say 1 in 3 women will have an abortion by the time they are 45. Many are suffering silently because of abortion. We want to help them and prevent others from experiencing this pain. Just five minutes can enlighten, change hearts and minds!

Prolife Christmas Cards

Prolife Christmas Cards are available at our office. We have a beautiful assortment of prolife cards. You can stop by our office to browse, call us at 231 733-6300. You are welcome to take cards to your church should others be interested in seeing them.

If you send Christmas cards, please consider your donation to Muskegon County Right to Life for prolife Christmas cards. Christmas is such a wonderful time to remind people of God's precious gift of life!
