On a typical Wednesday night at Winder First Baptist Church in Winder, Georgia, members of the community gather for Bible study, youth group activities, and fellowship. However, the atmosphere was somber as the church staff had to quickly adjust their plans in response to a recent tragedy.
Just hours earlier, a devastating shooting at Apalachee High School had claimed the lives of two students and two teachers, leaving nine others injured. The close-knit community was reeling from the shock and grief of the senseless violence that had struck so close to home.
