Dear Congregational Family,
As Americans, there are certain moments over the course of our history which become indelibly marked on our hearts and spirits. The chilling events of this past weekend in Tucson, AZ, I believe, will mark one such moment. I imagine many of you, like me, were taken aback and shaken by the tragic and senseless violence which took place this past Saturday morning. Our hearts break for the innocent families devastated by the loss of their nearest and dearest. And we pray with those families whose loved ones fight for their lives. May they somehow find their way back to healing and recovery.
