Tuesday, May 25th marks the one year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, an event that spurred reflection and protest across the country throughout 2020 and beyond. Below you will find two opportunities, virtual and in-person, to mark the day with prayer, reflection and renewed commitment to racial justice.
Gordon Memorial Methodist Church will join Christ Church Cathedral for a vigil in the parking lot of the Cathedral at 6 p.m. There will be prayer, scripture reading, song, reflection, and candle lighting. The vigil is sponsored by the Cathedral Chapter and will be attended by Bishop Bauerschmidt and Methodist Bishop Bill McAlilly.
