As we try to respond faithfully as a church, to play our part in being present with those who are grieving and bringing healing to those who are hurting, we are called first to pray.
We are exploring ways in which we can practically help the families and communities of those most affected, but this is something that will become clear over time. I feel a sense of urgency to take my grief somewhere – to do something tangibly useful, helpful – but, for now, that’s in the hands of the medical staff, the counsellors, and those in closest proximity to the families affected. Our practical involvement as a church is to be present and prayerful. To take our grief to God, and to support others in doing the same.
As such, I want to direct you in two ways:
1. A place to grieve and lament
Our building is going to be open all week between 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M as an open and quiet space to come and pray either by yourself, as a group, or with one of our Pastoral Team. This is open to anyone in the neighbourhood and wider community.
2. Evening of Prayer (Saturday)
We will end this week by hosting an evening of prayer on Saturday, May 3rd at 7:00 P.M. This will be a time of lamentation and intercession for the families and communities affected by Saturday’s events. All are welcome to join.
