MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS CANCELLED

Aaron Matthew Weldon — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 17:15:44 +0000

As chair of PCUC New Castle, I have decided that it is too risky to resume having membership meetings at this time. The Covid-19 cases, illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths in our area are just too high for me to have any level of confidence that someone will not become ill or test positive as a result of 20+ people sitting around a table for 2 hours. The space we have at the Crane Room just does not allow for proper social distancing, and masks are obviously removed for eating/drinking purposes. As you know, the cases began to rise quickly after election day and the holidays, and I had hoped that by now they would be at an acceptable level for a safe meeting. Sadly, we don’t always get what we hope for, even when it is with the best of intentions. There will be phone calls and social media posts to inform everyone when meetings and activities will resume. Please take care of yourselves by following guidelines, staying rested, and getting good nutrition such as lots of Vitamins C and D3. I wish you all well, I miss you all, and am looking forward to resuming all of our activities and events!

My Public Disavowing of the former PCUC Facebook Page

Aaron Matthew Weldon — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 00:09:20 +0000

Since I have seen a post on our former PCUC Facebook page calling the Covid-19 virus a “Fake Virus”, I feel compelled to publicly state my opposition to what the administrator is doing. If you also think this type of post does not belong on a pro-life Facebook page, please go to the page and express your opinion. The page is called Lawrence County Pro-LIFE Group (PCUC), and is being administered by a former officer without my approval or authorization. I have started a new page called People Concerned for the Unborn Child, New Castle, PA which I will administer. I believe my responsibility as chair of PCUC New Castle is to put forth a clear picture of our mission, which is to respect and defend all life from conception to natural death. I also believe that in doing that, we must only state facts, not theories, and show compassion to those who do not agree with us. No one will ever be converted with hateful, accusatory, and radical political statements on the internet. I have said from the beginning that we must speak the truth in love, just as Jesus did. To that end I am taking measures to have the former page removed or renamed, as it does not represent the views or mission of PCUC New Castle.

New Facebook Page

Aaron Matthew Weldon — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 17:32:17 +0000

I am pleased to announce that I have started a new Facebook Page for PCUC New Castle, entitled People Concerned for the Unborn Child, New Castle, PA. The old page, entitled Lawrence County Pro-LIFE Group (PCUC), was posting far too many divisive and political opinions that I do not think belong on a pro-life page. This page was set up and is being administered without my approval or control; therefore it was necessary to create a new, official page for us. So please give us a look and a like; you will find constructive articles relevant to pro-life issues and

PCUC New Castle Cancellations

Aaron Matthew Weldon — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 15:25:20 +0000

The following planned events have been cancelled: The March for Life Bus leaving from New Castle on 1/29/2021 and the Prayer and Thanksgiving for Life Service on 1/22/2021. I do not want to risk anyone getting sick because they participated in one of our events, especially with local numbers being so high recently. Some people may disagree with this decision, and that is your right, but I will not compromise the health and safety of our members and others participating. Our family lost someone this week to Covid-19. He was healthy, active, and just 66 years old. We received daily detailed updates on his condition, so we know how terribly he suffered for a month before passing away. I am just not willing to put anyone in that position, and as the leader of PCUC New Castle, my decision is final.
