Like so many in our community, we are brokenhearted to learn of the tragic deaths of six young people from our region in a car accident this past weekend.
We will keep the families and friends of the victims, and the first responders, in our prayers.
God of tender mercy, we grieve for the tragic and sudden loss of six young people of our region, and we share in the pain and sadness of their families and friends. Receive those who have died into the embrace of your peace, where there is no longer sorrow or weeping. Grant comfort to those who have been shattered by their deaths, and surround them with love and support in this terrible time. We ask all of this through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. Amen.
