Tonight, we stand together in unity and love, as we navigate the journey of healing and finding new strength. The Tumbler Ridge community, neighbours, and our provincial and national leaders have joined forces to uplift one another. Join us in offering heartfelt prayers;
-for the families, community members and first responders who have been impacted this week,
-for the survivors, their loved ones, and the medical staff who care for them, and
-for those who are suffering in unseen ways.
Just as the monks walking across the United States have shown us, it is through embracing peace and loving kindness that we remain grounded in the midst of turmoil. May you be well.

A Prayer with the Community of Tumbler Ridge, BC

Providing God,
With people across the country and around the world,
we seek your care as we bear witness to the mass shooting in the community of Tumbler Ridge.
Provide solace for all affected.
Provide comfort to those overwhelmed by grief.
Provide compassionate strength to those who are providing support to the broken-hearted.

Providing God,
guide us, as we continue to the build the world you have imagined:
A world where a child's right to learn, laugh, love and live is cherished and protected in every village – everywhere;
A world without violence;
A world where the most vulnerable among us feel safe, cherished and protected, always.

For the sake of Christ who entrusted us to each other,
may it be so.
Amen.

—Rev. Dr. Alydia Smith

Our hearts are broken by the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, in British Columbia. We hold all the community of Tumbler Ridge in our prayers, especially those killed, and surround their loved ones, classmates, and community with God's compassion. We pray urgently for the wounded, for those who care for them, and for the first responders and witness carrying the weight of this tragedy.

In this time of shock and sorrow, may we renew our commitment to a world where such violence never takes place. Please join us in praying for healing, courage, and peace.
