​On March 10th, with hearts broken open by the war in Ukraine, people from many faith traditions came together for a prayer vigil in Clock Park, Wolfville. 
 
The vigil was organized by the Wolfville & Area InterChurch Council (WAICC) and included words of reflection by Vlad Zamlynny, who was born in Ukraine and whose brother is engaged in the armed conflict, as well as Mayor Wendy Donovan.  Zamlynny offered words of compassion for all children caught up in the chaos of war and migration.  Mayor Donovan gave thanks for WAICC’s leadership, remarking that churches bring people together in purpose and harmony rarely seen in the halls and council chambers of government. 
 
A short program of prayers, poetry, music, and scripture concluded with a lighting of candles, reminding all present that a light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not, will not, and cannot overcome it.
 
WAICC includes Wolfville Baptist Church, Orchard Valley United Church, St. John’s Anglican Church, Port Williams United Baptist Church, St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church, Manning Memorial Chapel, and the Society of Friends (Quakers).
