Members of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod participated in the National March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Jan. 27. LCMS brothers and sisters gathered Friday morning for a Divine Service at The Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel, and afterward they traveled by Metro to the march.

The 44th annual March for Life, which drew tens of thousands of participants, protested the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision to legalize abortion.
