From Edmonds United Methodist Church:

Candlelight Vigil
Sunday, Jan. 11 from 4-5 p.m.
Edmonds United Methodist Church, 828 Caspers St, Edmonds

Please join us for an ICE OUT FOR GOOD VIGIL on Sunday, Jan. 11 from 4-5 p.m. We join with other groups and churches around the country this weekend to name our outrage over the brutal murder of Renee Nicole Good and the shooting in Portland of Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras by Immigration Enforcement officers.


This will be a reflective service as we name the harms and injustices in our government and light candles in memory of those who’ve died in Detention Centers or shot by Immigration Enforcement officers. Followed by a short candlelight march on church grounds.
