PPL resources for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (SOHLS)

Every year in January, many churches set aside one Sunday to observe the sanctity of human life. In addition to making a bulletin insert available to churches, PPL has resources including a Bible Study and an adult curriculum to assist churches in promoting the sanctity of human life in January, or to be used any time of the year. Please contact us for additional information and ideas on giving witness to the sanctity of human life in your church.

PPL invites every church everywhere to cherish every human life. Join us in declaring that every human life is important to God by observing

"Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
Matthew 18:5 (KJV)

"God pronounces that he adopts our infants as his children, before they are born."
John Calvin in The Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book IV, Chapter 15

John Calvin wrote that "The offspring of believers is born holy, because believers' children, while yet in the womb are included in the covenant of eternal life...Nor are they admitted into the Church by baptism on any other ground than that they belonged to the body of Christ before they were born."
