On Friday April 20, 3 people were shot and killed in our church’s neighborhood. Although we have no personal connections that we are aware of, it felt like we should do something to respond. On Sunday April 22, we invited our congregation to gather at church at 6:30 pm and we walked to the site of the crime, about 8 blocks, where we prayed and sang and tried to let he neighborhood know that our church cares about this community. We had a great turnout, and others joined us as they saw us walking, and more still came out to join us at the scene.
