The 20th annual New Bern Life Chain will be held Sunday as part of a nationwide abortion protest.
The local event, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., is part of the National Life Chain.
The location for the one-hour silent protest against abortion will be on Dr. M.L. King Jr. Boulevard in New Bern between the New Bern Mall and IHOP on both sides of the highway.
The appropriate permits from the city of New Bern have been acquired, according to organizers.
The New Bern Life Chain is one of hundreds held across the country. Once each year, the Life Chain invites the churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for one hour.
The silent protesters hold one of the approved anti-abortion sign messages. Signs will be provided. More information can be found on the Web: nationallifechain.org and lifechain.net for a state-by-state list of planned events.
For more information, please call Dr. Bart Spano at 252-633-4768 or Carol Leake at 252- 635-8236
