A 34th annual pro-life event is slated early next month in Hennessey.

Life Chain will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3, at the corner of U.S. Highway 81 and State Highway 51.

The local event will coincide with similar ones taking place across the U.S. and Canada at the same time.

Locally, the rally is sponsored by the Pro-life Committee of Hennessey and Dover.

“Life Chain is an annual peaceful time of prayer for the preservation of all human life, from conception to natural death,” said Valerie Wissman, a coordinator for the event.

The event will last one hour and people throughout the Kingfisher County area are welcome to attend, Wissman said.

Wissman added that signs will be available for participants and those unable to stand for the hour are welcome to bring lawn chairs.

“Many have been grateful for this opportunity to express their pro-life support,” Wissman said. “Please consider participating. You will receive a blessing from the experience.”
