Please join us in prayers for the 26 children who lost their lives in this terrible tragedy.
We will be conducting a special prayer service on Friday morning at 9:30am at Pearl Church. I’m sure it would be an inconvenient time for most of you to attend, so you may observe the prayer as requested by Governor Abercrombie as stated below or at your own appropriate time and place.
Prayer:
We feel sadness and sorrow for those children who passed on so suddenly at such a young age and we extend our compassion, love and understanding for their families who are going through much grief and pain. We ask God to grant us and the families, comfort, peace of mind, the strength and courage to forgive… to move on with resolve to make our respective places a better place for our children and the world. We give thanks for our family and friends and let us hold them ever more dearly in our hearts as we realize that they may be gone at any moment. And we pray and support those who have lost loved ones around the world as well.
Rev. Owen Nakao
