The Church at Planned Parenthood (TCAPP) met tonight—despite Coronavirus fears—on March 18, 2020, at 5:30pm and started a quieter than normal service, at the behest of Pastor Ken Peters, who told his regular members not to show up, in order to keep within the 50-person limit issued by Governor Jay Inslee and governors across the United States.

This was after the Spokane City Council passed a new, vague and legally messy noise ordinance, restricting the volume on the services, which are held “outside the gates of Hell” at 123 E. Indiana Ave., Planned Parenthood, Spokane, WA. The worship was quieter, and perhaps a little sweeter than normal, with hushed tones at times, a choral of “A-mens” and a new worship leader from Australia.

About 38 members showed up, about 5 cops, 2 counter-protesters, and several independent media outlets. It was the quietest and smallest TCAPP service with decibel readings being at times equal to or lower than the small amount of traffic going by (since most people were bunkered down at home). The entire service was livestreamed by Pastor Seth Haberman on evangelist Joshua Feuerstein’s Facebook page of 2.6 million fans, with thousands of views in the first hour alone, but the video was quickly censured and removed by Facebook because of it’s pro-life, anti-abortion message (and was re-uploaded below).

The resounding message was simple, but true: America, repent! Because we have allowed the murder of innocent babies at “healthcare facilities” like Planned Parenthood to continue, that: “Maybe … Just maybe …”, said Pastor Ken Peters, “That Covid-19 is because of abortion and Planned Parenthood!”

The key verse was—and has been the key verse of God’s prophets in America at least since 2015—2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Naturally, local, “pro-choice” liberals are upset that The Church at Planned Parenthood met in light of COVID-19 fears, even though only 5 reported cases have been documented in Spokane, WA. It is the same group of naysayers that have always railed against TCAPP, i.e. people with an agenda to continue murdering babies. Prior to meeting, Pastor Ken Peters pointed out how the parking lot of Planned Parenthood was full with “patients”, and aptly said, in response: “We’ll stop meeting, when Planned Parenthood closes.”

But what made this Church at Planned Parenthood service unique was the hope it shed abroad in our hearts. It revived a much needed sense of hope in us, again. Despite a deadly virus, and all the lockdowns and panic it has wrought on the world in recent weeks, despite a limit on public assemblies, “social distancing”, “sheltering in place”, curfews and National Guard on the ground in some States, we got to worship once more with Pastor Gabe Blomgren, Pastor Ken and family, and with our old brothers and new friends in the Lord.

“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:3-5).

Don’t leave home without a Bible. Stay safe, everyone. And, in the words of Douglas Adams in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, DON’T PANIC.

God bless, preserve, and protect the Saints of the Living God.
