STATEMENT FROM PACN REGARDING THE GEORGE TILLER MURDER

anniewills — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:08:05 +0000

All of us at PACN are deeply saddened to hear of the killing of George Tiller. Violence is not the answer to resolve differing opinions. PACN’s core values are rooted in respecting all life. Every life is sacred and should be protected with regard to views or actions. PACN works towards a culture of mutual respect and dignity. In the strongest possible terms, we condemn this act.

“Back to the Future” Gala

anniewills — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:42:49 +0000

PACN’s “Back to the Future” Gala on April 3 was a success on so many levels. “I never knew PACN touched so many areas of need in our community,” responded one attendee. A local pastor was “blown away” by all that PACN does. One couple, who has been coming to PACN’s Galas for 7 years, said that this is the year they realized they wanted to get more involved by volunteering.

The Gala was held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. The evening had a variety of highlights. It started off with local Christian comedian, Bob Smiley, entertaining our VIP guests, including the Conroe Knights of Columbus 6456, Platinum sponsors and Ron and Debbie McClain, Gold sponsors.

Our guests perused the Silent Auction items while being entertained by Harpist, Leslie Blanchard.

The program’s highlights were: the Children’s Ensemble from Founders Baptist Church who sang “This Little Light of Mine”; a presentation recapping PACN’s past year and the vision for the future, which includes expanding The Woodlands/Spring Center and exploring the possibility of opening a second thrift store in the Spring area; Danette McMahon, a local musical artist, talked about her experience as an adopted child, then sang a song she wrote in tribute to “The Lady I Never Knew”; the evening ended with client testimonies of how PACN changed their lives.

We give God the Glory for a wonderful night.

If you were not at the Echoing Angels concert on Sunday night, May 3 at Crossroads Baptist Church in The Woodlands, you missed a “rocking” good time!

We praised and worshipped the LORD through prayer, song and laughter.

We Love Our Volunteers

mattregister — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:00:49 +0000

One of the ways PACN can operate with a small staff is due to our wonderful 100+ volunteers who work at PACN on a weekly basis. We have many volunteer opportunities available.

PACN conducts three trainings each year for women and men who want to volunteer as a Peer Counselor. A Peer Counselor meets with women, men and families experiencing unintended pregnancies. Those who come to PACN looking for help are often frightened and unsure of what to do. A Volunteer Peer Counselor offers acceptance, someone to talk to, hope, assistance and resources to help them during their pregnancy; having a positive impact on their lives both now and eternally.

It is proven that volunteering is good for your health. Volunteers enjoy longer lives, have higher functional ability and have lower rates of depression and heart disease.

When you volunteer at PACN, we win and you win!

Volunteer Training Dates for Fall 2009: September 29, Oct 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9. For more information or to register, please call 936-441-7755 or email pacn@pacn.org

Change for Life Campaign

/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/baby_bottle.jpg’ title=’Baby Bottle Campaign’>/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/baby_bottle.jpg’ alt=’Baby Bottle Campaign’ align=”left”/>To counter the Roe v Wade decision on January 22, 1973 that legalized abortions, President Reagan declared the Sunday closest to that date as Sanctity of Human Life (SOHL) Sunday.

This year PACN celebrated SOHL by inviting:

Participating churches to engage in our “Change for Life” baby bottle campaign. PACN delivered baby bottles to the churches for their church families to take home and fill and refill with change, bills and/or checks. It was a great way for the whole family to get involved. And the response was overwhelming.

We thank all who participated and made this campaign a great success.
