Happy Memorial Day!

05/15/2026

Our entire community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of the two high school students who passed away in yesterday’s accident. Our hearts are with the family facing the unimaginable pain of burying their two children, as well as with those still in the hospital fighting to recover.

During moments like these, we are reminded how fragile and precious life truly is. Hug your children a little tighter. Be a little kinder. Have more patience with one another. Tell people you love that you love them. Life can change in an instant.

We stand with our community in grief, prayer, and support. If you are able to support these families in any way, please do. Every act of kindness matters right now.
