AREA — The Maine Council of Churches, in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Maine and the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, has invited faith communities across Maine to observe a ‘Gun Safety Awareness Sabbath’ during the weekend of February 16-18.

Participating congregations of all faith traditions are being asked to incorporate prayers about gun safety and gun violence prevention into their regularly scheduled worship services and to provide congregants with a flyer listing Maine statistics along with links for further information and ideas for taking action.
