Page 4 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, September 21, 2005 Expanded service noted at Pregnancy Center of I.V. Mary Lefner first learned about the Pregnancy Center of the Illinois Valley approximately five years ago when Corinna Fierro gave a ministry update at a church attended by Lefner’s parents. Having been involved in Alaska Right to Life efforts, Lefner was thrilled to learn about a place where tangible assistance and honest educa- tion about abortion were being offered to women ex- periencing pregnancy scares. She began correspond- ing with then-director Jenni- fer Gowers. Through a year-long series of events, Lefner felt that God was confirming a release from her long- standing position with the Alaska Division of Public Health. She originally began higher education at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass in 1980, and always wanted to get back to school and complete that goal. She now is working toward her bachelor’s de- gree in Biblical counseling through a college distance program. She said that she has used information from each class when working with clients, or planning and de- veloping programs for the Center. Many of her school projects have directly bene- fited the Pregnancy Center’s how far this little pregnancy center has come in three years,” said Lefner. “When I first arrived, the place was only open two afternoons a MARY LEFNER (Photo by ‘I.V. News’) programs, including a pres- entation on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, a client advocate reference guide, volunteer training approaches, and providing counsel to clients. “It is exciting to realize week. Services were limited to pregnancy testing, and the Bridges to Motherhood pro- gram had one client.” During the past three years, the Pregnancy Center has expanded hours, en- hanced its Bridges to Moth- erhood program, and moved to a larger facility. It has added a formal post- abortion healing program, increased the number of volunteers and supporters, and expanded the board of directors. Lefner is working with the board’s strategic plan to stabilize funding, add new services (including absti- nence, a father’s program, and better access to medical care), expand the Bridges Program even more, as well as increasing Bible study offerings. Her desire is to help people: *Avoid pregnancy scares, but also to work through them and grow when they occur. *Know that God is real and that He will be with you through any situation. *Help women and men gain parenting skills and truly enjoy the blessings (children) that God has pro- vided. *Find freedom from past-abortion pain.

We have limited openings at St. Patrick of the Forest Catholic Church A man told his two sons to work in the vineyard. The first said, “No,” but later changed his mind and did as he was told. The other son said, “Yes,” but never did the work. That story told by Jesus in Matthew will be related on the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time to show that even if we tell God, “No,” we get a chance to change our minds and do His will to save our souls.
