We are devastated to hear about the shooting at Church of the Annunciation in South Minneapolis. YouthWorks has deep roots in the Minneapolis community as the place where we were founded and are still headquartered. We also have a long history with Church of the Annunciation whose teenagers have participated in our trips through the years. We’re praying for all of the victims and for the entire Minneapolis community. We’re also praying for an end to the violence we see again and again in our country that takes the lives of our children and neighbors. We’re looking for ways that the YouthWorks family can help and respond in the coming days. (fb)
