Hope’s daughters
Worship this morning at the First Presbyterian Church of Whitestone focused on responding to gun violence. Planned and led by our confirmation class and youth group, the service invited us to connect with hope’s daughers: anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.

Eeyore Knights of Valor
Not alone, we stand together,
for alone one could not stand.
Not alone, we stand together,
soul to soul and hand in hand.
Not alone, we stand together,
aching hearts, but spirits strong.
Watching, waiting, working,
when others turn away;
seeing, hearing, feeling,
what others would avoid.
Not alone, we stand together,
wounded,
surely wounded,
sorely wounded,
wounded all, yet still we stand.
Not alone, we stand together,
laughing, weeping,
bound by hope
and filled with love.
Not alone we stand together,
for alone we could not stand.
