Sanctity Of Human Life

Are you part of a church community?

Sanctity of Human Life (SOHL) Sunday is a day that churches across the nation spend celebrating the precious value of human life. SOHL Sunday is observed on January 18, 2026, but New Life devotes the entire month to honor life by offering free resources and engaging with church communities. We invite your church to join us throughout January as we reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me.” 

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” 

– Matthew 11:28

At New Life Family Services, we witness the power of this invitation every day. As we walk alongside those facing unplanned pregnancies, parenting challenges, or pain from a past abortion, our desire is to offer compassionate care and tangible hope that point each person to the ultimate source of rest—Jesus. 

Want your church to be involved? Please reach out to Grace (Twin Cities, Grace@NLFS.org) or Leah (Rochester, Leah@NLFS.org) to coordinate a plan.
