THE FOLLOWING IS A ST. JAMES UNITED METHODIST CHURCH RELEASE
Saint James United Methodist Church located at 504 North Vermilion Street in Danville, IL will hold a Community Prayer Vigil on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in our sanctuary for Aniyah Davis family and friends. Aniyah Davis was killed by senseless gun violence on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Aniyah Davis was an outstanding member of the Danville High School. She was the student-president of the Show Choirs and led her team in a nearly undefeated season her senior year.
The United Methodist Church has been outspoken in its call to end the plague of gun violence that infects our homes, our neighborhoods, and our schools and college campuses. This work is rooted in our commitment to Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves and it is an important part of our ministry to build God’s peaceable Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
We invite our Danville community and surrounding communities to join us as we gather to pray for the Davis family and all those in our community that have been the victim of gun violence.
