Prayer vigil set for Wagon Wheel Park

The congregations and pastors of the Oregon Trail Cluster of the Oregon Synod (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) will be hosting a Prayer Vigil at Wagon Wheel Park on Tuesday, June 12 at 1:30 p.m.

Wagon Wheel Park is the site of a May 24 attack on two Latino men by a large group of teenagers who are reported to have shouted such things as, “Go back to Mexico,” while using rocks to beat the victims and damage their vehicle.

Leaders of the churches said they will pray for peace and healing in this and all the hurting places in the world, for an end to violence and crimes of hate, and for the safety of swimmers and boaters on the scenic waterways of Oregon.

Wagon Wheel Park is located on Highway 213 between Union Mills and Macksburg roads.

For more information, contact Pastor Scott Dunfee of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Gladstone at 503-656-8194.
