We lit a candle for those whose lives were lost or upended by the tornadoes that touched down in Mississippi. May they find the relief and care they need.

Mary Jones lit a candle of support for all of the people who were injured, blinded or lost an eye due to contaminated eye drops. May they receive the courage and support they will need to adjust, heal and recover.

We lit a candle in solidarity with the family of Tyre Nichols, a 29 year-old father who died of injuries sustained after a brutal beating at the hands of Memphis police. May the memory of Tyre be a comfort to all who knew him, and may justice prevail.

Dana Moore lit a candle for Lewis Rosemond who lost his partner Vanessa Velasquez who died on Sunday.

We lit a candle for Dennis Grasso who will undergo surgery in a bit over a week. May he feel the support of this congregation.

We lit a candle for two police officers shot in what seems to have been an ambush, in Newark,on November 1st. We pray for an end to this kind of violence on our city’s streets, as we renew our support of those whose lives are at risk for protecting our own.
