Life Chain is Sunday, Oct.7
Kansans for Life
Sunday Oct. 7, 2018- – – – – 1:30 PM until 3:00 PM
Meet at 1818 S. Main (S – 69 Hwy)
Annually on the first Sunday in October, LIFE CHAIN invites all churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for 60 minutes, while holding an approved pro-life sign message.
LIFE CHAIN is not a demonstration, it is standing as a witness to those who call Christ their Lord to hold pro-life messages that declare abortion a grave evil that defames the name and holiness of God (Leviticus 18:21). Indeed the Church that Christ founded has drifted into cold indifference toward the sacredness of human life, and the result has been the mindless surgical killing and mutilation of over 50 million preborn Americans, plus untold millions who have fallen victim to abortive chemicals and medical neglect.
- Stand with thousands of pro-lifers throughout the USA. You’ll be a light in a darkened world as you help put an end to abortion through prayer.
- Bring your whole family. Rain or shine.
- Water, lawn chairs, umbrellas and strollers are welcome.
- Signs provided at each location.
Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing in honor of 54 million lives lost to abortion, praying for our nation, for people in crisis situations and for an end to abortion. It as a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children, and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
(1:30pm gather at 1818 S Main for instructions then stand in the Life Chain 2 to 3pm)

A and P’s Spanish Bar
For any of you growing up in the 50s and 60s, you often found this cake at the local A and P. It was a favorite of mine and I was glad to find the recipe. You can double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 and frost the top, you can bake as is in a loaf pan or an 8-inch square pan. The next time I make it, I will do the 8-inch square pan, cut it in half, frost one half and stick the other half on top and frost it . . . and then “comb” the top of the cake — like the cakes at the A and P!
A and P’s Spanish Bar
2 c. water
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. butter
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. allspice
1/4 t. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. chopped nuts (I used pecans — the A and P cake probably had walnuts)
Simmer the water and raisins in a saucepan on top of the stove for 10 minutes. Add the butter and cool the mixture. Meanwhile mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, spices and salt. Add cooled raisin mix and stir until combined. Add beaten egg and stir until combined. Add nuts. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until done. If using a 9 x 13 or an 8 inch, baking time would be closer to 30 minutes.
