The cross of Christ compels us to pay attention to victims of violence. Join us at 9:00am on Good Friday, March 25th, for a South Tacoma cross walk in which we visit and remember those who have died as a result of violence in our community over the last 7 years. Join us for the entire walk, part or even one stop. We’ve listed the times so you’ll know where we plan to be. At each stop we will offer a brief recounting of the person, the nature of the violence and a prayer. We can not do anything to bring them back, but we can do something to honor their life and work to end violence in the future.
