Silent Voices Annual Banquet - "What Will YOU Do to Save a Life?"
Friday, October 9, 2015
Silent Voices has been a leader in the ProLife community both locally, and worldwide since 1984. Come celebrate 31 years of service to women and children!
Our Annual Banquet is an important event - the funds we raise are essential in helping us not only continue providing our current services, but to expand them. We are excited to be taking steps that we believe will bring Help - Hope - and Healing to even more women in our community!
Come here about some of the exciting steps we want to take in the coming year - and how you can help make those steps possible!
If you'd like to Host a table (of 8), please let us know so we can set a table aside for you. There is no cost to do this - we simply ask that you invite family and friends to fill your table - people you believe would have a heart for Silent Voices and all that we do and stand for.
There is NO CHARGE to attend the Banquet - but there will be an opportunity to give at the end of the evening - or to make a commitment to give monthly!
We will have lots of fun raffle items available - so plan to come early to buy tickets and check out the donated items! (If you have something you would like to donate for the raffle, please let us know!)
We've selected a delectable meal from Ranch Events -
This year's speaker is Andy Merritt - the pastor of Edgewood Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia, where he has served for 38 years. In addition to his pastoral duties, Andy is one of the early pioneers and leaders in the Crisis Pregnancy Center Movement.
In 1981 Andy led his church to establish the nation’s first church sponsored Crisis Pregnancy Center, which now has had the opportunity to minister to 60,000 different women. In addition to the Center, the church established the new Beginnings Adoption Agency in 1984.
Andy has traveled nationwide assisting in the establishment and/or training of over 500 Crisis Pregnancy centers, and his church hosts a National Crisis Pregnancy Center Conference every other year.
Andy is a graduate of Washington Bible College in Lanham, Maryland where he received a B.A. in Biblical Education. Andy and his wife, Kathy, are the joyful parents of ten children: Jonathan, Christy, James, Carrie, Joel, Catherine, Carol, Carla, Caytlin, and Charissa, and are the proud grandparents of twenty grandchildren!
