Gracious God of hope and healing.

 

We pray for the people of Tumbler Ridge- for a community devastated by an unspeakable tragedy. We pray for the families of those who have died, for the injured, for the traumatized.  We pray for first responders, medical personnel, counsellors,  chaplains, and all those tasked with attending to those wounded in body, mind, and spirit. We pray for your peace and healing,  signs of your presence in the midst of pain and loss ,and reminders of your promise of ultimate healing through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
