Join with faith leaders from the National Council of Churches for “A Time to Mourn: An Ecumenical Memorial Service for Lives Lost to COVID-19” tonight at 6 p.m. ET. Through prayers, scripture readings in multiple languages, a list of names of those who have died from COVID19, and a sermonic reflection, the service will provide space for people to grieve, remember loved ones, and support one another.
