Original announcement: Have you been wondering how to respond to the gun violence? It starts with prayer. We pray for peace, for an end to gun violence, we lament the devastation that it brings, but we often wonder what to do next.
We can do more than we imagine. You are the expert on your congregation and situation, and you have all of the gifts and tools that God has given you to engage in the work of nonviolence and peace-making. What’s more, each of us is a part of the Body of Christ, and together we can do more than we envision alone.
Join a conversation designed to share inspiration, encouragement, and concrete ideas for doing the work of gun violence prevention in your community. Bring your hopes, fears, and determination to make a difference. We will, with God’s help.
