COAHC conducted a condensed/abbreviated service on Saturday night in order to give an opportunity for all to attend the prayer vigil at Culpeper United Methodist Church in honor of Kelsey and her family. The vigil started at 7pm, but I wasn't able to arrive until about 7:15.
I was pleasantly surprised at the turnout. There wasn't a parking space anywhere to be found and people were litterally overflowing out of the front doors into the parking lot. There were people from different churches around town. What a wonderful demonstration of community unity and support! My heart was touched.
Several select people shared their thoughts and prayers for the Orndorff family and for Dr. Cook and his family. I couldn't help but notice that more than one person used the expression, "Let's be a city on a hill." God continues to speak to his children in Culpeper. What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord will use for good and His glory. I'm certain that Kelsey's death and memory will be used by God, to unite and build His Church.
