AN INTERFAITH SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE

I always liked ecumenical services. As a child, Good Friday was shared by the different church groups in Thornhill and I attended many.  When my children were in Brownies and Guides, there was a service on Thinking Day in February each year with all the faith groups in Thornhill participating. So watching the service on TV in Newtown Connecticut, Sunday December 16, 2012, it was fitting that all faiths in the community came together to honour and mourn the losses. In times of great tragedy the love of a greater being- God does bring comfort. The politicians take the same seat as the community. Together was the message. When we reach out together, we can get through many things. Families together, community together supporting each other. As we continue to enjoy the Christmas season, let us come together and be there for each other- especially our children!
