Two years ago, in Newtown, Connecticut, innocent lives were taken by gun violence. In Tucson, we witnessed our own tragedy nearly four years ago.
We can recite these places where gun violence occurs like a litany.
Shockingly, when the second anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings takes place next Sunday, 60,000 more Americans will have died from gunshot wounds.
St John on the Desert Presbyterian Church in Tucson is partnering with the Newtown Foundation, Washington National Cathedral, States United to Prevent Gun Violence, and Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence. Across the nation, from December 11-14, there will be special events and services in remembrance of the victims.
St John is my church, and I will be there for the worship service, followed by a candlelight vigil, for the victims of gun violence.
Gun violence affects all of us.
I hope you will join me.
Friday, December 12th, 6-7 pm
