Dear Friends, we've all been deeply affected and concerned about the too, too many incidents of loss of life of several of our young people in this community, all who have had either a direct or indirect connection with our Trinity family. So, I was very grateful to get the email below about a special event to be held TONIGHT at 6:00 at PK Yonge, Le's wording is so good, I'll just share it as I received it, and ask you to join in prayer for all the families affected.
There is a meeting at PK this evening at 6:00pm sponsored by the Student and Family Services Department at PK Yonge. It is in response to the multiple suicide events in our teenage population recently in Gainesville. I don't know this speaker, but I wanted to offer it to you in case you felt you might benefit from the information. In one way or another Trinity was touched by 3 out of 4 of these events.
I know that you all are prepared to handle such crisis I just wanted to let you know about it. I am so proud of PK for responding to the crisis and offering assistance and resources for the PK family. The meeting is being held in the Performing Arts Center- right at the front of the school. Parking is sort of crazy but there is a parking lot at the top of the hill if you can't find one near the Center.

"Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.[Mark 10:13-16]
