DETROIT – Parishioners and community leaders are coming together at Divine Restoration Ministries tonight to call for an end to violence around the city.
Wednesday (July 16) night’s event comes after Jennifer Harris, a longtime member of the church, was stabbed to death by a coworker last week.
The church says her death will leave a big hole in the church community.
“I have members that would come in when we would open up the doors of the church, she was the first person of contact as they seen her ready and smiling, which was contagious,” said Senior Pastor of Divine Restoration, Dr. Tenisia Evans. “Her words that would be said when she came in were ‘God bless you’ and when people would be leaving were ‘Have a blessed day.’ So those are the things that we are going to miss about her. It’s a big void.”
