Life SUMMIT 2024
January 18-20, 2024
Save the Dates:
Anglicans For Life (AFL) invites you to attend our annual Life SUMMIT conference which coincides with the annual March for Life. The events kick-off Thursday evening, January 18, 2024, and run through Saturday, January 20, 2024. Over the course of three days, students and adults will celebrate life, mourn the hastened death of the unborn and elderly, worship our Creator, and equip the Church for Life-Affirming ministry!
While we celebrate the overturning of Roe v.Wade and the thousands of lives that will be saved, God’s people must also be prepared to help women facing unplanned pregnancies, as well as offering support to the aged and terminally ill. AFL’s Life SUMMIT empowers attendees to be effective ministers of the Gospel of Life to those that are lost and lonely in our communities.
About
ySUMMIT
(Youth SUMMIT)
Thursday, January 18, 2024
Location: 6565 Arlington Blvd, Ministry Center (lower level)
If you’re in middle school or high school, we invite you to ySUMMIT 2024 on January 18, 2024! This event is centered around the abundant life that Jesus gives us. Through worship, fellowship, and engaging speakers, we’ll connect the Gospel with the most pressing social justice topics surrounding life, so that you can make a difference for His Kingdom here on earth.
Students who attend these events must be accompanied by adult youth leaders (1 leader for every 8 students.) If you are bringing both male and female students, churches need to send both male and female leaders. If your church does not have a youth program, we would love to have you join us. You can ask a parent to be your leader or you can reach out to another church and ask if you can be part of their group. Youth leaders, if you're considering bringing a group of students to Washington D.C. for the ySUMMIT and the March for Life on January 18-20, 2024, we want to make your life easier – we have designed announcement you can share with students’ parents and your congregation to promote the trip on our “Event Promotion” tab above!
While we would love for you to attend ySUMMIT 2024 with your youth group in-person, we are happy to also offer virtual participation options as well. Students can participate individually or as a Youth Watch Party for your church’s youth group. Youth Group Watch Parties are a very engaging, interactive, and impactful way to participate.
Morning Prayer & Worship Service/Buses to the Washington, D.C. March for Life
Friday, January 19, 2024
Location: 6567 Arlington Blvd (church sanctuary)
For many people, the Prayer and Worship Service followed by the March for Life constitutes something of a pilgrimage to honor the 64,000,000 children who have died by legal abortion in the United States since 1973. We start the day in worship of our Creator at The Falls Church Anglican. Afterwards, we board buses that take us to the March for Life in Washington, D.C., and by 4 pm ET we are on the buses heading back to the church. (One bus will divert to Reagan Airport [DCA] for those catching flights departing after 6 pm ET.)
Whether you can only attend the Morning Prayer Service or the whole schedule of events on Friday, AFL invites you to join us in-person or via live stream for the Prayer and Worship Service and the March for Life via Facebook livestream.
Life SUMMIT 2024
Saturday, January 20, 2024
Location: 6567 Arlington Blvd (church sanctuary)
As our culture celebrates and embraces death via abortion and euthanasia, God’s Word calls His people to protect and value life. The goal of Life SUMMIT 2024 is to mobilize you and your church to bear witness to the Sanctity of Life through education, pastoral care, and ministry in your community.
Life SUMMIT 2024 will provide practical ideas and inspiration so every church can impact our culture and their local community with the truth that God is the loving Creator of every human being, and He has purpose for every life! Life SUMMIT 2024 is held on Saturday, at The Falls Church Anglican, in Falls Church, VA. Anglicans throughout the world are invited to attend in person, or virtually. This event is interactive and creates an environment where we can learn from each other, discuss strategies, and prepare for Life-Affirming ministry in this post-Roe world.
We would love for you to attend Life SUMMIT 2024 with members of your church or family in-person, however, if you are unable to, there are a variety of ways you and/or your group can still participate virtually. These include individual participation, household participation, and church watch parties.
