Prayer Service for Our Grieving Community
Thursday, October 19, 2023
10 AM
Firestone Fieldhouse
As our Pepperdine family continues to grieve the loss of young lives, all faculty, staff, students, and community members are invited to gather together for prayer and reflection. In light of yesterday’s tragic events that occurred on Pacific Coast Highway, the “Prayer for Our World” service will not meet as previously scheduled. Instead, all are welcome to pray for the Pepperdine community in the Firestone Fieldhouse. All Seaver College classes will be canceled from 10 to 11 AM on Thursday, October 19, to support students who wish to participate. Those who are unable to participate in person may join the event via Zoom.
Join us as we come together in a spirit of comfort, compassion, and care as we lift up in prayer the families and friends of those we have lost and unite as a community to call upon our loving God for peace and comfort in this difficult time. President Jim Gash, provost Jay Brewster, and vice president for student affairs Connie Horton will address the community as we immerse ourselves in prayer and scripture to seek God’s presence to bring healing to our community. Members of the Hub for Spiritual Life, Office of the Chaplain, Counseling Center, and Student Care Team will be available to provide counseling and pastoral care to all who need support at this difficult time.
