Our hearts are heavy as we learn about the tragic events at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. As followers of Christ, we mourn with those who mourn, and our prayers are with the students, families, and educators impacted by this devastating loss.

In times like these, we turn to God's Word for comfort and hope. Psalm 34:18 reminds us: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

May this truth guide our prayers and actions as we lift up the Madison community. Let us be a light in the darkness, showing love and generosity to those in need.
