On April 20, United Church of Canada ministers across the country received a call to fill the country’s dark night with light.

The call came from Rev. Penny Noble in the Tatamagouche Pastoral Charge, in Nova Scotia’s Colchester County, the site of the largest mass shooting in the country’s history.
