Highlights
GRCC
continues to be in prayer
with the greater community of Rochester and for all those affected by
violence. We support the efforts started by Deacon Bill Coffey, nearly
ten years ago when he and others in the area began to address the
homicides that were taking place on our streets by going to the sites
of shootings to pray and bless the family and neighborhood.
A prayer email chain was created.
People were encouraged after each
homicide to gather at the site to hold hands and send forth prayers of
healing and comfort. Those that cannot attend, pray from their home,
their office, their car... wherever it is best for them. To be a part
of this ongoing community of prayer and healing, please contact Bill
Coffey directly at: wcoffey2@rochester.rr.com
or email GRCC at grcc1@frontiernet.net.
A project of the Greater Rochester Community
of Churches, Faith Community Alliance, and Baptist Ministers Alliance.
