Easter is all about new beginnings.

A fresh start. A new day. A reminder that hope is alive.

And so are you. 💛

During STI/STD Awareness Month, we want you to know that we offer free STI testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.

Many STIs don’t cause noticeable symptoms, which is why testing can be an important step, especially if you are considering abortion, since untreated infections can lead to complications.

After getting tested, consider choosing to save s*x for marriage, which is the only 100% effective prevention method for preventing further infection.

We’re here to help with judgment-free support.

If she’s pregnant, it’s normal to feel pressure, fear, or the weight of responsibility. Your voice and your choices matter too.

Looking for 4 Pregnant Moms for Newton Project🤰

Family Life Center is once again inviting students from St. Thomas the Apostle School and Newton Community High School to view a live ultrasound of a baby in the womb. This project helps the students appreciate the life within the womb and learn about fetal development.

We are looking for 4 pregnant moms to participate. This will take place on April 24th at the Family Life Center in Newton. The moms can expect this to take about an hour of their time.

Do you know anyone that might be interested? Have them contact Allison Runyon at 217-342-5433 or by email at rn@familylifepcc.org.

Here’s the truth.

Real confidence doesn’t need a drink or a pill.
Real fun doesn’t require a cloud of smoke or a high.
Real peace doesn’t come from substances.

Clear mind = Stronger boundaries.
Safer choices.
Healthier relationships.

You deserve clarity.
You deserve safety.
You deserve relationships built on respect.

We’re here to support you, judgment-free and confidential.

“It helps me relax.”
“It’s not that serious.”
“I can stop anytime.”

That’s the lie.

What starts as stress relief can turn into:
• Increased anxiety
• Mood swings
• Addiction
• Riskier decisions

Short-term calm can create long-term consequences.

You deserve real peace, not something that clouds your mind and lowers your standards.

Need healthier ways to cope with stress? We’re here for that too.

It usually doesn’t start with a big decision.
It starts with pressure.

“Just one.”
“Don’t be boring.”
“Everyone’s doing it.”

Substance use lowers boundaries — and when boundaries drop, it becomes harder to protect your body, your heart, and your future.

You deserve relationships that respect your “no.”

If you ever feel pressured, you don’t have to navigate that alone. We’re here.
