Dear Church,

In the shadow of the tragedy at the Islamic Center of San Diego, we hold our county in our hearts. We grieve the lives lost, the peace shattered, and the pain rippling through out our wider community. In this moment, we choose to meet darkness not just with endurance, but with an active, courageous commitment to one another.

You are invited to join an Interfaith Community Vigil tonight in support of the victims and families of this tragedy. Please see the flyer below for details.

Love, Hugs, and Hospitality,
Pastor Lisa
