Please keep Huntsville in your prayers after shooting

First Presbytery Church, Huntsville ... in shock after last week's shooting at the University of Alabama 

Dear friends of St Mark's,

Please keep our city and community in your prayers. You may have seen this if you watch international news or CNN.com: On Friday afternoon an associate professor of biology who was attending a biology staff meeting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), shot and killed three of her fellow professors, and severely wounded another two and one staff person. It appears to have been totally unexpected (although she was denied tenure about a year ago and is finishing out her last semester). And it is quite a shock to our normally quiet and tranquil city. Please keep the families, friends, university staff, and students who have been impacted in your prayers.
