Over 200 attended an ecumenical prayer service at Holy Trinity on the evening of Friday, November 8, coming together after the election to pray for peace and unity in this divided nation.
Father Gillespie said, “We gather tonight as fellow Americans facing governmental changes and as Christians seeking God’s presence amidst the changes ahead. Whatever our political persuasion these changes will be disruptive; for many fearful, shocking and saddening. … In light of recent events, some may feel a sense of sadness, confusion, or frustration, much like the disciples felt in that storm. In times like these, we can take comfort in knowing that even when circumstances feel turbulent, God’s presence is with us, guiding us through.”
