How should the church respond to Roe Vs. Wade being overturned? We have a conversation with Metroplex Women's Clinic and a woman who works at the national level in politics.
If you've had an abortion, we want to help you to find healing. Please consider submitting a prayer request (fielder.org/prayer) and joining Surrendering the Secret, a support group of other women who want to walk alongside you, or You are Treasured, a confidential 9-step format class for you to find personal growth and healing from an abortion experience at Metroplex Women's Clinic (call 817.299.9599). Contact groups@fielder.org for more information.
