Members of the public are invited to attend an interfaith service to mourn those lost at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, and to pray for solidarity amongst all races, according to a press statement.

Interfaith Prayer Vigil for Peace and Racial Healing, South Congregational Church, 27 Pleasant St. in Concord, on Wednesday, June 24, at 7 p.m. All are welcomed. The Church is Open and Affirming and wheelchair accessible.

This service is a time for greater Concord to come together and grieve the nine victims murdered at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC.
