Clergy will lead interfaith prayers and encourage congregants to reach out to those affected by the tragedy. “We condemn the violence and destruction that has occurred,” said Pastor Susan Jones of Good Shepherd Church. “Our churches stand united in calling for peace, understanding, and justice for all.” The seven-day mourning period is a testament to the deep spiritual roots of the central region and the commitment of churches to serve as beacons of hope and support in times of adversity.
