About 40 people attended a prayer vigil at Faith Lutheran Church in Forest Lake June 14, many of them lighting candles to commemorate the 49 people killed in a June 12 shooting at gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida. The vigil was held in remembrance and support for the victims of the shooting, and in addition to lighting the candles, the attendees, shared personal stories, sang songs and heard the names of the club attendees who died. Many who spoke during the vigil expressed their solidarity with the LGBT community and hope for a future with less violence toward that community.
