Instead of separating us, he brought us together. In fact, joint vigils and prayers services were held over the weekend, and community meetings addressing security concerns at day care centers and schools were planned for later this week. The Rev. Gregory Frost, whose church served as a haven for the children, was the keynote speaker at a Jewish Community Center healing service Friday attended by Jews and Christians from throughout the community before the start of the Sabbath. At a coffee shop a short distance from the community center, many believed that although the national attention to the shooting would fade, the memory of it would remain for residents. I don't think we are going to forget what happened here.
People pull together in times of crisis and when it's over they go back to their daily lives.
But Frost said there was something more than that. If that doesn't speak to what's going on in this community, the unity I don't know what does.
