Tinley Park Prays for Ukraine
After the pledge of allegiance, everyone was asked to remain standing and “assume a reverent position” as Trustee Grady prayed: “We’d like to take this time to ask our Lord to watch over and help the people of Ukraine to resist this unwanted, unnecessary invasion of their country and their homes. For the people that have been murdered by this action, children, families, and, of course, the town that has been destroyed. We ask God to please bless those and welcome them in his arms, and please, please, let us bring peace back to the world and stop this unwanted invasion. We ask this in the name of our Lord. Amen.”
