Earlier, we offered a brief reflection and prayer in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy.

Now UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is helping the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church to offer A Message of Hope to the Virginia Tech Community. TV spots “aimed specifically at helping young people cope with the tragedy” will be airing in the area.

For more on what United Methodists are doing, see United Methodists Across Virginia Rally to Offer Prayers and Support for Virginia Tech.

As you continue to pray for Virginia Tech, pray that God will bring hope and healing to people through this outreach. Also pray for churches in Virginia as they reach out to their community.
