Calvary will solomnly observe the anniversary of the landmark of the Roe v Wade decision on Sunday, January 24, 2010.

In 1984 when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day he encouraged all Americans: "I call upon the citizens of this blessed land to gather on that day in their homes and places of worship to give thanks for the gift of life they enjoy and to reaffirm their commitment to the dignity of every human being and the sanctity of every human life..." 

Calvary's observance will include:

• Our annual display of white crosses on the front lawn representing children lost to abortion
• A Galleria Fair for local agencies that support adoption, orphans, and the value of human life
