Join in a Life Chain of prayer on Oct. 6

Miscellany file photo: Life Chains, a prayerful pro-life witness, will take place Oct. 6 at various locations around the state.

Life Chain Sunday is an opportunity for pro-life advocates across the U.S. and Canada to unite together in prayer. The peaceful and public witness will take place across South Carolina on Oct. 6, when participants will stand in silent protest, holding signs and praying for the nation to end abortion.
