Ecumenical Prayer On April 17, In Walpole After The Marathon Tragedy

We are all shocked and saddened by the act of violence at the Boston Marathon.  Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those who were killed and to the people who were injured. Events like this must strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice in our world.
We invite everyone to attend an ecumenical prayer service in Walpole tonight, April 17, 2013 at 7:00 PM. Sponsored by the Walpole Clergy Association, the gathering will be held at the labyrinth in  the field behind United Church, 30 Common St, Walpole.   See below for more information.
