Embracing Love Not Hate: A Vigil
People of all faiths and beliefs are invited to attend a service of healing and hope and a vigil Wednesday, July 25th at 7:00pmstarting in the sanctuary at First-Plymouth Church, 20th & D Streets.
"Embracing love not hate" will be the theme in response to the attack this weekend on a member of the LGBT community. The community is invited to attend the service and vigil, to come together to support each other, to heal, and to move forward with love and determination. A poster will be available in the sanctuary for people to write words of love and hope to the victim.
Following the service, people are invited to participate in a silent prayer walk together around the Near South Neighborhood. The vigil will end in the church's courtyard.
Pastors Jim Keck, Nancy Erickson, Barb Smisek, Greg Stewart and Kim Morrow Hinrichs will be leading the service. Dr. Karen Becker, Cello Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and TomTrenney, First-Plymouth's Minister of Music will be playing the musical piece "Song without Words," by Craig Phillips.
