Bishop Dan Schwerin invites us all to lift up prayer:
Beloveds,
Greetings in the hope that is ours in Christ. I write to lift the news that North Central College student Giana Dettloff died in a mass shooting in Bloomington, Illinois, early Sunday morning. Please hold her family, Rev. Max Blalock, the North Central College chaplain, and the North Central College leadership and community, the families, and ripples of impacted communities in prayer. May we also seek ways to lament and advance nonviolence in our common witness. May those who mourn indeed know comfort.
Thank you.
Peace,
Bishop Dan Schwerin, Bishop
