Remembering the 66 victims of violence in Louisville during 2009
On Sunday, December 6th Ridgewood Baptist joined sister church Highland in their
annual observance of placing crosses on the lawn in memory of those killed in acts
of violence in our city. These crosses bear witness to our commitment to
making peace a reality in our community.
