One year after Minneapolis church shooting, pastor reflects on healing
If this is your mountain
- Pray specifically for the Annunciation congregation, school families, and shooting survivors including Sophia Forchas.
- Ask your own church or school leadership what security measures and trauma-response plans are in place a year after high-profile attacks on houses of worship.
- Review how your congregation ministers to children after trauma, distinguishing biblical comfort (Romans 12:15) from institution-specific theological framing.
- Support local ministries or counseling resources that assist churches recovering from violence.
