Richmond is for Life Event this Saturday

Email from Darius:

I wanted to share this Pro-Life event coming up this Saturday, in case anyone from the Men's Group can attend.

There is a link below and I also attached the flyer.

You have to RSVP but it is free. I went last year and it was really good, but I am unable to attend this year, unfortunately.

God bless and hope to see you sometime soon.

Peace,

Darius
