Pray for Our Brothers and Sisters of Lakewood, Washington

It is with great sorrow that we once again have four of our colleagues taken from us.  Murdered while they went about their everyday duty of protecting their community.  Four young, vibrant and dedicated officers have been taken from us early on this Sunday morning by a senseless act of violence.

May God hold  in his arms -

Sgt. Mark Renninger
Officer Ronald Owens
Officer Tina Griswold
Officer Greg Richards

End of watch: November 29, 2009

May He watch over their families at this time and give them comfort.  Please keep in your prayers the officers of the Lakewood Police Department who are dealing with the lose of their commrades.  And pray also for the safe return home at the end of the day of all police officers through out the world.
