515 Main Street, Fitchburg

What a blessing from God to work together with people who are sincerely concerned and compassionate about those who are “without hope and without God in the world.” People like you!

Together by the grace of God, we have co-labored and God has given us the increase. You and your church are deeply appreciated. We are so grateful that you have recognized the need and answered the call. Rejoice with us!

I hope to see you on May 20, Lord willing.

May God bless you,
David P. Bodanza, Esq.

Laurie Lemus will be joining the volunteer staff at the center

“I am a very strong believer of abstinence and the wonderful joys and blessings that it brings into a marriage or an individuals life. I’m passionate about following the Lord’s will and I desire to talk with women about the importance of this sensitive and personal issue. At nineteen I gave birth to my daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth is now 26 yrs old and living in San Francisco as a fashion designer. She has been the greatest gift I’ve received from God in my life. I feel strongly about the mercy that God gives us when we are in difficult situations. This is why I am thankful that our Lord has given me an abundance of compassion for girls and women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy. I want to be able to help them choose life and let them know what a blessing it can bring to their lives. I know first hand. Children are a blessing from the Lord.”

On January 28, 2012, at 515 Main Street in Fitchburg we worked inside a Care Net Center.

Ron Turcotte from St. John’s in Townsend did all the floor tiles in the Director’s office.  Dave Haschig from Messiah Lutheran in Fitchburg tiled the floor in the Reception office and Pete Cannavino from Leominster Assembly of God was our loyal instructor, explaining the process.  (Picture of Pete below.)

Pete Cannavino from Leominster Assembly of God was our loyal instructor, explaining the process.

Our Medical Director, Dr. John Worden IV and his son John stopped by for an hour and did some clean-up.  The Worden’s worship at Sacred Heart in Gardner.  Wayne Kraemer, our HVAC guy, delivered materials and got to work.  He worships at Heritage Bible Chapel in Princeton.  Mike Brennan from Messiah Lutheran stopped by for a tour.  My son Bernie Fortin and my granddaughter Paige helped with the cleaning and Bernie pulled off the wallpaper from the waiting room.  Paige stayed with us til 5pm and did quite a bit of vacuuming and picture taking.  Bernie and Paige worship at St. Bernards.  John Bulgor and David Brauksiede did the heavy lifting for the day as they moved doors into the basement storage area.  The doors weighed well over 100 lbs each.  They really worked up a sweat.  Dave and John attend First Baptist in Leominster and worship along side our board president Dave Bodanza, (Pastor Dave).  (Picture of Gail and David below.)

We will have another work day this Saturday, February 4th.  Join us for an hour or more.  Plan on taking Pete Cannavino’s tiling class, he said it’s easy once you know what to do.

I stopped by the center today, and Caleb Marchant was busy putting up ceiling tile, while Mike Merrill was painting door frames and our plumbers were at work with sprinkler heads.

We are grateful and praise God for all the man hours provided by our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Respectfully,

It would be such a blessing if every Christian church in the Montachusett region which supports life would have a second offering or retiring offering during their Sunday, January 22, 2012, service to benefit Care Net Pregnancy Resource Center of North Central Massachusetts. Pastors and church leaders, your support is vital in the battle for life. Click here for a bulletin insert.

Thank you so very, very much!

Jack Maxim placed the winning bid for our official autographed Patriots football and I had the pleasure of delivering it to his family on Christmas Day. We thank the Patriots for their generous donation as we held our first “on line” auction to benefit our “Labor of Love” campaign. We thank Jack Maxim for his participation in our continued effort to be all our Lord wants us to be in our ministry. We are adding the finishing touches to our new location at 515 Main Street in Fitchburg. Keep in mind that the wisest investment in any economy is to invest your time and treasure in the service of God. Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
