February 5, 2013, NEWTOWN, CT– Calvary Chapel Southbury regrets to announce that the Memorial Tent that they have been operating in Newtown on Church Hill Road (right off of exit 10) since shortly after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School will be closing on Sunday, February 10. If you would like to visit the tent and have not had a chance yet, please come on by before 6:00 PM on Sunday.
It has been an honor to serve the community during this time of grief and to do our part to listen and offer whatever comfort we are able to those who were affected by this tragedy.
If you or anyone you know is still in need of grief counseling, etc., please contact the church at calvary@calvarysouthbury.com or 203.267.5441.
Sometimes a few have power. These people don't understand the outpouring of love that has come to Newtown through these memorials, etc. It has been a great help to most of us and for people around the world who want to send their love and pay respect. I for one am very graeful for the love and time these people have offered. In Peace and Love.
Unfortunately, these sincere people were FORCED OUT I am definitely no religious freak, actually I despise the hypocrisy of most organized religions...one could sit in silence, or talk if he/she chose. I’ll say one thing for certain, it was a most uplifting experience. Shame on Benson and the town’s political machine for ordering the ouster.
Pleasure? That's not a word that generally comes up when I think of a memorial.
If you know anyone that needs grief counseling, we offer that free of charge at our church in Southbury. We also have a lot of opportunities for fellowship - including a small Bible study group that is beginning tomorrow evening in Sandy Hook. God bless you.
