Generation Joshua Club of Hendricks County

GenJ Live Chat has been Canceled. Our next meeting is next Thursday, June 3rd, noon - 2 pm.

Stay tuned for details!

Our next meeting is coming up fast! Here's what on tap:

First we'll have lunch and hear from our members who have researched Indiana Planned Parenthood. Some of the topics are: how PP obtains state funding, how Life Centers compare to Planned Parenthood Clinics, and much more!

Then at 1 p.m. State Majority Floor Leader (and our Senator) Connie Lawson will speak to us about the legislative achievements of the pass session. We'll also get a chance to ask about her stance on the state defunding of Indiana Planned Parenthood.

The meeting is being held noon-2 p.m. this Thursday at Bread of Life Ministries. For directions check the Google map on the right.

GenJ Hendricks is going to the Indianapolis Tax Day Tea Party this Thursday. We'll leave for Downtown right after the Actually Live Chat. The Rally will be held 5-6:30 p.m. on the exterior west side of the State House. Check out the Indianapolis Tea Party Website for more information.

The March for Life is a Pro-Life rally held on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's infamous decision known as Roe v Wade. You can read about their founding and much more on their website. Here's a teaser:"Late in October 1973, grassroots prolife leaders became concerned that January 22, 1974, might come and go without properly memorializing the Supreme Court's infamous abortion decisions...No established right-to-life organization was prepared to undertake the planning, financial and operational responsibilities for a high impact prolife March on the U.S. Capitol. But, grassroots prolifers wanted to march!"
We are planning to attend the 2010 March for Life, which is being held on Thursday and Friday, January 21st and 22nd. Travel to Washington is provided by bus on a first come first serve basis. So the quicker you respond the better.

As you can tell there are many more details to iron out, so check back often for updates.

UPDATE:
We only have room for a few more on the bus. Check back for more details soon.

The next GenJ Club meeting will be here before you know it. In fact it's a little less than twenty-four hours from now. We'll be meeting 1-3 at the Panera Bread in Avon (see left sidebar for details). This meeting will be more of a discussion than a formal meeting. Please bring your Bible and computer and be ready to discover what God says concerning abortion.

Our featured speaker Machelle Montgomery, a woman who lived through the guilt and heartache of an abortion, will share her powerful and moving story. Today, the grace of God allows her to overcome the trauma of abortion and empowers her to help other women (and men) affected by this “choice.” Join us for the account of a woman changed by the love of God, Who alone can take something "intended to harm, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 50:20)

Special speaker: Kimberly Lowery, HBHE student and first place winner in the Indiana Right to Life contest, presents the speech she will deliver at the Annual Indiana Right to Life Fall Banquet on September 15th.

This special event is sponsored by the students of our local Generation Joshua Club, kicking off a year of involvement in Right to Life (R2L) issues. During the upcoming school year our group will study R2L issues, tackling topics relevant to students such as what actually occurs during an abortion. During the 2010 Indiana Legislative Session our GenJ club will focus on bills and legislation relating to the right to life.

Hello GenJ members. R0b3rt R. here. In light of our next meeting’s discussion topic, I thought viewing this Fox News TV special would be appropriate.

Fox News just released a special entitled “Escape from Hamas.” The special focuses on Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founding member of Hamas, who rejects Hamas and Islam in favor of Christianity. You can see the show here. Fox News hasn’t posted the special on its Hulu account yet but when they do it will be preferable to view it there.

Action: How did the people vote? Take a look to see why, when so few Indiana counties were blue, the state turned blue.

Attitudes: What kind of attitude did President Elect Obama take to Washington four years ago? How did it affect the election? A recent article by Bill Sammon highlights some of Obama's first meeting with President Bush.

Attitude: How will Obama's interpretation of America and its recent past influence his presidency? While Obama has been an exceedingly liberal senator, he has run his campaign as a moderate using buzzwords such as "hope" and "change." However, in his victory speech Obama seemed to some to be speaking about our nation with a negative attitude. Do we know what his real attitude is?
