Where to go to participate in the Life Chains in Brevard County, Florida on Sunday, October 3, 2021:
The Melbourne Life Chain will extended about 5 miles along the north side of U.S. 192 (Strawbridge and New Haven Avenues) from 1/2 mile east of U.S. 1 (west end of Melbourne Causeway) to about 1 mile west of Wickham Road. To "adopt" a section, a church needs to have produced large turnouts in the past, or obtain significant commitments for this year. Participants from other churches, and anyone not affiliated with a church, are invited to gather in front of the Melbourne Square Mall.
The churches that have "adopted" sections at the 2021 Melbourne Life Chain (east to west) are listed in the following table. Next to the name of each church are the section boundaries and approximate location for picking up signs so that we are able to spread the message of LIFE to our community!
