[Messages] Rev. Joan to lead Vigil for Orlando Shooting at 12pm Today

[Rev. Joan Javier-Duval]

I'm not sure if anyone will be checking this account this morning, but if
you are - please send out this announcement:

Dear members and friends,

I, like all of you, was grief-stricken and enraged to learn of the
horrendous shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL in the early
morning hours of Sunday, June 12, the deadliest shooting in the history of
our country. I especially mourn with the LGBT community for this hateful
act. Times like this call for us to gather in community. I will lead a
vigil on the front steps of church *TODAY* at *NOON*. The sanctuary will be
open afterwards as a space for silent meditation and prayer.

The Pride Center of Vermont in Burlington is planning a march and
vigil for *6pm
TODAY* beginning near the front steps of First UU.

May we hold one another with love during this tragic time.

In faith,
Rev. Joan
