About this Event
Gun Violence Prevention Group at Reveille UMC
The community is invited to join Reveille’s Gun Violence Prevention Group on Mondays at 1:00 pm. The group gathers to pray, call the names of deceased victims of recent gun violence in the City of Richmond, and ring a bell after each name is called. Everyone is welcome at this reverent and moving experience.
During warm weather, the group gathers in Reveille’s Garth (turn off Cary Street Road, take the church driveway toward rear lot, and The Garth is a garden located just past the large sanctuary building), and in cold or inclement weather, the group gathers in Reveille’s sanctuary (follow the driveway to rear parking lot, park in rear, follow brick sidewalk past the white house to a set of double doors at the bottom of steps and ring the bell, follow red carpet to sanctuary). Reveille UMC is located at 4200 Cary Street Road, Richmond.
The bell ringing for victims of gun violence began in downtown Richmond, Virginia, at Second Presbyterian Church and is also practiced at Ginter Park Presbyterian Church. The group is hoping to expand bell ringing to churches neighboring Reveille United Methodist Church to produce a resounding sound with all the bells simultaneously ringing for a single message of acknowledgement, remembrance, hope, and a call for the resolution of gun violence in our society.
Please let us know you are joining our group in bell ringing by emailing Nadja Gutowski, [email protected].
