Local Happenings: Candlelight Gathering


To anyone living in Michigan: I urge you to join us on Tuesday the 20th for a Candlelight Gathering to help support those battling with depression and suicidal thoughts. It's being organized by a good friend of mine, who happens to be gay. 

It will be at the St. Joseph's of Orion parking lot at 5:30. Once the sun has gone down completely (5:45-6ish), we will start the candle lighting. After a few reflective moments of silence we will open the microphone to anyone who would like to speak. Although many of us have been effected by suicide, we ask that this not be a memorial. This is a chance to show the youth of our community that they have a massive support system that cares deeply for them. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

This is an issue that's been hitting the youth of the nation hard, especially GLBT youth. Pleas,e share this with anyone who lives in Michigan.  Thank you.
