• Statewide Event: MOURNING with UNITY (NH Council of Churches)
  6pm • Zoom: https://nhchurches.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b576c3e7a069654131fd7728&id=935b51a623&e=fa58a9454f
  This event will be held  outdoors @ Bedford Presbyterian Church, Bedford, NH
  and on Zoom.“Mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15). Mourning Into Unity is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the unvoiced grief so many of us feel. The pandemic has laid bare cruel fissures in our society. So much loss is being endured: loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of health insurance, loss of safe schools. When we grieve as one, we reject efforts to use the ravages of this disease and its cruel and disproportionate impacts on the most vulnerable to divide us.Churches, synagogues, and mosques across the country will be hosting two candlelight vigils outside their houses of worship (HOW) on two successive Mondays: October 12th and 19th.These vigils will bring us together as a nation to mourn our devastating losses and declare our unity as Americans and people of faith. When we see our shared humanity, we strengthen our commitment to each other and our democracy.
