The prayer, called the “Memorial to the Lost Prayer Service”, is part of the “Memorial to Those Lost to Gun Violnce in Western PA” program, and will take place Tuesday at 6pm at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. The event will be hosted by Christians United. The purpose of the event is to bring awareness to 59 people who were victims to gun violence. A display of t-shirts with the names, ages, and days of the victims will be displayed outside the church for around two weeks following the service.
