Good Afternoon my Friends at Temple Israel,

This past weekend and this week, you all at Temple Israel and many of my sisters and brothers of the Jewish faith, have been deeply on my mind and in my prayers. On Sunday, October 28th we held a moment of silence at our services for the victims and their families of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA, that was struck down by hate and a very disturbed individual. Please know that Grace Episcopal Church, Paducah is with you in prayer and support always.

May our Creator continue to bless and protect us during these difficult times for worshiping communities that speak out against hate and fear.

With God’s Peace,Rev. Charles Uhlik, Rector
