Following a shooting at a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday, Sept. 28, the church community is balancing mourning with faith.
The president of the Grand Blanc Michigan Stake, Marcelino Sanchez, stated that the "balance of mourning and gratitude can lead us to a deeper understanding of our faith and our purpose in the world."
Our church community must be a haven for hope and healing. As we navigate through this challenging time, let us cling to our faith in the Savior and to one another, knowing that together we can overcome even the darkest of days.
President Sanchez noted that the violent event, which took the lives of four and left others injured, "has left an indelible mark on our hearts."
