Welcome to Lifewatch
Lifewatch is the quarterly newsletter of the Taskforce of United Methodists on Abortion and Sexuality. We are dedicated to creating, in church and society, an esteem for human life at its most vulnerable, specifically for the unborn child and for the woman who contemplates abortion. Begun in 1987, Lifewatch is an unofficial voice of UMC laity and clergy encouraging United Methodists to live the Gospel of life to build a culture of life in the U.S.A. and the world.
Rev. Brent Byerman, pastor of Lake Magdelene UMC in Tampa, FL, delivered a challenging sermon to his congregation – and us – on August 21, 2022
