If you got to know Deb Lowery, TAB’s financial assistant, there’s one thing you’d learn quickly — she has a heart for the unborn and for mothers in tough situations.
That’s why for the past three years she has volunteered at a women’s center in Fultondale.
“I thank God for the privilege of serving at North Jefferson Women’s Center/Sav-A-Life, alongside all the others there who love Jesus,” Lowery said, “[sharing] His truth and love with the men and women who walk through those doors. The testimonies shared from these precious [people] whose lives have been transformed by the power and love of Jesus Christ never fail to bring tears of joy from my heart.
“I am thankful for all the churches and individuals whose hearts are knitted together with Christ’s love for the unborn and their mothers and fathers.”
Lowery noted Psalm 139:13–18 — which portrays God’s heart for unborn life — is the truth behind her passion for the ministry.
Baby shower
On Feb. 7, TAB Media staff came alongside her and Sav-A-Life to participate in a Gift of Birth Baby Shower at Graysville First United Methodist Church.
Julie McLendon, the center’s director, said the showers offer a “great opportunity” to celebrate the babies and their families. For some, it might be the only shower they have, and it’s a great way to meet some core needs.
Every family honored at the shower has been through 10 hours of classes on topics like birth, baby care and parenting.
“We want to meet people in that unplanned pregnancy situation, but we want to go beyond that,” McLendon said. “Jesus wants us to have abundant life, and we want to walk that journey with our families. We want to provide that parenting resource and be that place of help when times get tough.”
North Jefferson Women’s Center/Sav-A-Life offers free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, prenatal assessment, STI/STD testing for men and women, childbirth education classes, parenting classes and fatherhood programming.
“That’s our heart — to see our families flourish in abundance and experience that fullness of life,” McLendon said. “We want to equip them with skills to have a God-focused family.”
