Lord God,

We come to You heartbroken and weary. Once again, violence has devastated a school. We cry out to You for the children, families, staff, and community of Annunciation Catholic School. Hold them close in this hour of fear and grief. Surround them with Your comfort and strength.

We pray that all who are impacted by this shooting will be supported, cared for, and surrounded in love—not just today, but in the difficult weeks and months to come. Raise up neighbors, friends, churches, and communities to be Your hands and feet of compassion.

We thank You, Lord, for first responders, law enforcement, and medical teams who are stepping into the chaos with courage and compassion. Be their strength in the long and traumatic days ahead. Protect their hearts and minds as they carry heavy burdens. Give them wisdom in every decision and endurance for every moment.

This tragedy moves hearts across the nation. Lord, draw us together in compassion and care, and let Your presence be known in the lives of all who are hurting. Strengthen us to act with love and mercy in the days ahead.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Pastor says "thank you" for all the garden blessings! But he grew up in Detroit and locks his car... for all kinds of reasons.

"Christ has given His Church the task of making disciples—not by gimmick or spectacle, but through the ordinary, powerful Means of Grace. Without regular Word and Sacrament ministry, faith is left to wither rather than grow. Because faith is created and sustained by the Spirit’s work through the Means of Grace, mission work must strive to gather and anchor believers in the Church, where Christ Himself is present with His Life-giving and faith-sustaining gifts."
