Remembering the Tragedy in Lahaina | |
Pastor Mitch and Nancy Gowen and DCE Kayla Lohman visited the memorial site of the 99 people who died in the Lahaina fire. This memorial was set up through the efforts of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Maui with assistance from Lutheran Church Charities. Goodfellows Construction on Maui has allowed for the use of the land and which the memorial was placed.
Kayla wrote a Psalm on each one, while Nancy and Pastor Gowen wrote Isaiah 43 and said a short prayer over each cross. Pastor Gowen noted that even months laster, the damage is still quite palpable. He was able to talk to one of the families living on the beach and learn how this tragedy continues to affect them.
