The Return of SILVER RING THING
The Pregnancy Support Center and ASITIA, the Rutherford Abstinence Program, are pleased to announce the return of "Silver Ring Thing" to Murfreesboro on Monday, August 23rd at World Outreach Church. Silver Ring Thing is a high tech, high energy performance that educates teens and twenty-something's about the benefits of remaining abstinent until marriage and the dangers of promiscuous behavior. With an outrageously funny approach, drama, videos, special effects and speakers, teenagers will be motivated in a unique and personal way to choose to remain abstinent until marriage.

The Silver Ring Thing is the fastest growing abstinence program in the United States and is rapidly gaining international recognition for its relevant and effective abstinence message. SRT's mission is to motivate, educate, support and transform generations of people to embrace a lifestyle of sexual abstinence. SRT seeks to create a culture shift where abstinence until marriage once again becomes the norm, rather than the exception, in the 21st century. More information is available on the SRT web-site: www.silverringthing.com, or call the center at 893-0228. We hope to see you on August 23rd!

Calling all coffee lovers!
The PSC is excited to announce a fun, new fundraising opportunity called Just Love Coffee! This company was founded by Rob Webb, owner and operator of Webb’s Refreshments here in Murfreesboro. Rob and his wife recently adopted two children from Ethiopia, and during that process, Rob was inspired to start a coffee roasting company, Just Love Coffee Roasters that is aimed at helping the Ethiopian orphanage where his girls were adopted, and organizations such as the PSC. We have our own unique web address: www.justlovecoffee.com/murfreesboropregnancysupportcenter.

Our store is called Bundles of Java, and if you go on our coffee website you can order directly from our store. We receive $5.00 from Just Love Coffee Roasters for every bag of coffee you buy through Bundles of Java. We even receive proceeds from the sale of their t-shirts, mugs, hats, totes and coffee scoops, all of which are available on our website! You can have the coffee shipped directly to you, or you can pick it up at Webb’s Refreshments at 149 MTCS Road in Murfreesboro. The coffee is Fair Trade coffee, which means the workers in Ethiopia are paid fair living wages, and it is premium gourmet coffee! Please become a member of our coffee club, and help support the PSC while you enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

Baby Bottle Campaign
The Pregnancy Support Center provides all our services free of charge to our patients. We raise the funds necessary to operate through other means--one being our annual baby bottle campaign. Simple baby bottles distributed throughout the county (usually through our churches) raises a substantial part of our budget needs each year.  Click here for information on how to begin a baby bottle campaign at your church or organization.

Speakers/Workshops/Retreats
Do you need a speaker for your ladies meetings/retreats?  Your youth groups need a new face to present healthy dating?  Consider a speaker from the Pregnancy Support Center.  Speakers can cover a wide variety of hot topics that will inform and encourage your group.  To discuss your event call 893-0228 ext. 17.

How to be involved in the Pregnancy Support Center
Volunteer Opportunities: As pregnancy consultant, volunteers work one-on-one with women in a crisis pregnancy—working through the consequences of the various options. Volunteers play a pivotal part in the attitude of the young woman.

Abstinence Educator: As a Abstinence Educator, volunteers go to the schools to teach classes covering topics of healthy relationships, purity, faithfulness, respect, media pressure, peer pressure, and healthy sexual boundaries. Volunteers truly serve to change the course of a student’s life as they lead toward purity and integrity.

Nurses: Nurses are specially trained to perform ultrasound scans. Our nurses are in the front row seat as the mother is introduced to the child for the first time through the ultrasound image. This is a sacred spot as the mom realizes the reality and bonds with that baby.

Baby Boutique:
The "Earn While You Learn" program is designed to help you learn valuable information and gain skills that will help you as a parent and as an individual.  While doing so, you will earn "Baby Bucks" that will enable you to shop for baby items in our Baby Boutique. There are approximately 100 different lessons to choose from, and you, with the help of your counselor, will set your own plan for learning and earning your "bucks."  The baby bucks may be spent immediately after each lesson or saved and spent at a later date.

Donor: Makes it possible to offer all services free of charge. The work of a donor is vital behind the scenes. However, our clients do realize that someone is paying and at some point in their life (usually much later) are very appreciative that someone stood in the gap for them at a time they needed help.

Church Liaison: Serves as the link between the Pregnancy Support Center and your church.
