Gun safety awareness Sabbath urged

Posted February 15 Lewiston Sun Journal

The Maine Council of Churches, in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Maine and the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, has invited faith communities across Maine to observe a ‘Gun Safety Awareness Sabbath’ during the weekend of February 16-18.

Participating congregations of all faith traditions are being asked to incorporate prayers about gun safety and gun violence prevention into their regularly scheduled worship services and to provide congregants with a flyer listing Maine statistics along with links for further information and ideas for taking action.
