Ecumenical Remembrance Service for Newtown victims

Responding to the murder of school children and adults in Connecticut, area churches have banded together to invite the Burlingame-Hillsborough community to a time of remembrance, prayer, hope and healing.

The service will be Monday evening at 7pm at First Presbyterian Church, 1500 Easton Dr., Burlingame (El Camino at Easton). Its leadership will include local pastors and representatives from local school boards.

The service will seek to recognize our sorrow and pain for the children and families as well as the schools and communities at Newport. It will seek to aid our healing through varieties of music and readings from scripture, through prayer, silence, and brief reflection.

Following the service a reception will be held to welcome all to a time of informal talking together.


Child care for children under school age will be provided by the church for the evening. 

Rev. Dr. Paul G. Watermulder, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame
