Brady Sarasota&#39;s Annual Vigil for Gun Violence Victims will be held December 9th, 6pm, at First Congregational United Church of Christ. Our featured speaker will be Kristin Song, who began to lobby for gun storage laws after her 15-year-old son, Ethan, died at a friend&#39;s house. There will be special music by the Palmer Ranch Singers joined by First Congregational UCC Chancel Choir members, as well as poetry, liturgical dance and more.<br /> <br />This is one of many special nationwide tributes to the children and staff killed ten years ago at Sandy Hook Elementary. We will light candles for all victims of gun violence, including suicide, accidents, domestic violence, and mass shootings.<br /> <br />Please invite your family and friends, and mark your calendars, for this special evening of reflection and remembrance.
