A number of remembrances are being held throughout the country in honor of those who died over the weekend in the mass shooting in Orlando.
A prayer service will take place Monday evening at The Presbyterian Church in Bowling Green. Pastor Matthew Covington says some of the church’s members are openly gay. He hopes they don’t feel singled out by the attack.
"All of us in the world needs God's mercy and care, and to single them out as a certain group that deserves punishment or rebuke is short-sided," Covington told WKU Public Radio. "This is something that should not have happened, and it is a symbol of brokenness in our community and world."
Covington says he believes the shooting was more than an attack on gays, but an attack on America.
The service in Bowling Green is open to the public and will start at 6:30 p.m. at The Presbyterian Church on State Street.
