St. Peter’s Tohickon United Church of Christ is sponsoring Memorial to the Lost – an outdoor visual display in honor of victims of gun violence and their families.
The memorial will be in place from July 15 to Aug. 12, outside the church, located at 1071 Old Bethlehem Road, Perkasie; it is presented by Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence.
Memorial to the Lost is a unique, visible education tool developed to honor victims of gun violence and their surviving families. T-shirts with the names and dates of those murdered by gun violence during the previous year in a designated area are displayed where community members can experience in a tangible way the loss of life and disruption of lives that gun violence creates.
Often, people will stop their cars after driving by and return to see exactly what’s being portrayed; they will walk among the shirts, pause and pray, sometimes even finding the name of a loved one or neighbor.
