  When Amber first arrived at Waterleaf, she stated she was looking for an abortion. A college student with two
  part-time jobs and living at home with her parents, she felt she could not afford to have a child at this time. She
  said the baby’s father, Don, seemed to initially panic at the thought of her pregnancy but told her if she wanted
  to keep the baby, he would be there for her.
  At her first appointment, she asked about the abortion pill and how it worked. After she was provided the
  information, her cousin Teri, who came to the appointment as a support, hugged her and said while pregnancy
  might be an additional stressor on an already stressful situation, she would be there throughout for Amber.
  During her initial ultrasound, both Amber and Teri cried when they saw the baby. Amber said, “I might have to
  change my mind and not do the abortion after seeing that,” as she pointed to the ultrasound on the screen.
  At a follow-up visit, Amber and Don arrived together, and both seemed in awe at the sight of the baby during
  the subsequent ultrasound. Afterward she told the staff she changed her
  mind. “We have decided to go through with the pregnancy.” She stated she
  had some concerns about telling her parents, but the Waterleaf staff
  reassured her they could help her find the right words to say.
  At her last visit, Amber came with her mom! She had told both her parents,
  and Don’s, and all stated they are happy for them and would support them.
  “I’m very happy with my decision. Even after seeing the first ultrasound I
  was torn, but in speaking with my mom, I realized I want to keep my baby.”
  Amber has met with a resource specialist in our Aspire Education and
  Resource Center and is getting the additional support she needs for health
  insurance.

                                 ■ Adherence to new room capacities (allowing for social
                                    distancing);
                                 ■ Proper social distancing in those rooms (6 feet apart; doors
                                    open whenever possible);
                                 ■ Maintenance of a list of group members or event participants
                                    (name and phone number) for everyone in attendance; and
                                 ■ Sanitizing the meeting space at the end of meetings (group
                                    leadership will be trained and supplies provided).

Jesus’ Way
Today’s readings present a contrast between “Jesus’
way” and the “old way.” An example of the old way is
the law given to Moses and Aaron about leprosy: the
leper was unclean and cast out of the community. Jesus’
way is the opposite: the leper is reached out to, touched,
and finally cured.
We should not think of the “old way” as restricted to the
days of Moses and Aaron, or even to the “old”
testament. The difference between the old way and
Jesus’ way arises in our own lives. We still choose,
every day, to live in our old way or in Jesus’ way.
Jesus dared to touch a leper, disregarding the old way.
The leper then was changed forever. He felt a calling.
He couldn’t keep himself from proclaiming he had been
touched by Jesus (even though Jesus told him not to!).
Once Jesus touches us, we are called to proclaim his
way.
