March For Life Pennsylvania
March for Life Pennsylvania 2025
A Message From Pastor Seifferlein:
We did it!
Last year 92 Prolife Lutherans gathered for our first-ever time together for the PA March for Life. We DOUBLED the number of Lutherans in attendance and UNITED together under one banner.
And we did it with blue hands.
As we walked, the heavy rain disintegrated our signs. We extended hands to say goodbye to new friends only to apologize about the sparkly blue colors on them.
“Don’t worry, my hands are blue too!”
Those blue hands were a sign of solidarity, and in good Lutheran fashion, a picture of the washing of baptism. We extend our reach to others, having ourselves been reached by Christ, desiring all to reach the age to be baptized also.
Let’s do it again!
Maybe without the blue hands?
What is your part?
Will you forward these details to a few interested persons today?
Will you put the date in your church’s calendar?
Will you await our mailing and a personal phone call in the next weeks?
Come with your family, church family—young, youth, adult, and old and march with us on September 22. We’ll be calling you!
In Christ,
Pastor Christopher Seifferlein

A Letter from Pastor Seifferlein prior to the 2024 March
Dear Lutherans,
As I conversed with attendees at the first Pennsylvania March for Life 3 years ago, people stopped to talk. “I haven’t heard of pro-life Lutherans, tell me more. Thank you for being here!” Last year after I saw Pr. Mark Chavez at the PA March representing the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) and Pr. Michael Edwards from the Church of the Lutheran Brethren (CLB), both bringing groups from their congregations, I realized that I was not the only PA Lutheran at the March! It got me thinking
What if we could double, even triple the pro-Life Lutheran presence at the PA March for Life?
What if the Lutherans could meet before the March for conversation and encouragement?
This year we invite your congregation to the Hilton in Harrisburg, One N. 2nd St. on September 23. A full breakfast free of charge will be served from 9-10 AM. At 10 AM Scott Licht of Lutherans for Life will present on “Life in the Darkness,” and Maria Gallager of the PA Pro-life Federation will give us a legislative update as the Senate and the House reconvene that day for their new session. We will walk the few blocks to the capital building for the 11 AM Rally and 12 Noon mile march.
Will you gather with your fellow Lutherans, young, high-school, college, adult, and aged, in Harrisburg on Monday, September 23?
Will you hang the information poster at your church and begin a conversation about pro-life Lutherans?
Will you pray for the Lutherans that gather and ask for the Lord’s blessing on the work to make PA a state that promotes the life of all—both the unborn and the care of their mothers and fathers?
Join us as we work together as Lutherans to uphold the teachings of the Bible about the value and dignity of each and every human life created by God.
In Christ,
Pr. Chris Seifferlein
Mount Calvary Lutheran (LCMS), Lititz, PA
