North Parish UU Church holds gun control vigil

MVP member group North Parish Unitarian Universalist Church held a peaceful protest on February 18 to bring attention to the problem of guns in America. The vigil came in the wake of the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

“I think this little vigil today is just a symbol of taking action and knowing that thoughts and prayers are not enough,” said MVP leader Rev. Lee Blumel. (quote from the Eagle-Tribune)

Haverhill resident Jacob Leonce bravely share his story with media outlets from throughout Greater Boston. Despite his impending deportation order, Jacob has continued to personify honor and courage in all that he has done. We'd like to thank the New England Pentecostal Church in Pelham, NH for dedicating their January 28 service to Jacob and allowing us to use their space for Jacob's interview after the Sunday worship.
