The Parma Greece United Church of Christ is hosting a presentation to address the concept of gun safety in America. They have invited Moms Demand Action to speak at the church on Saturday, January 27, at 2 p.m. The community is invited to attend this event, which will be held in the sanctuary. Organizers hope to provide important information and statistics that will encourage a better understanding of the balance between gun ownership and gun safety in the home.
According to their website, Moms Demand Action is a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence. It was started by Shannon Watts, a mother of five, after the Sandy Hook tragedy. This organization works within their communities and with local, state and federal representatives to encourage a culture of responsible gun ownership. They know that gun ownership is a right, and gun violence is preventable, and they’re committed to doing what it takes to keep families safe. Moms Demand Action has established a volunteer chapter in every state of the country and Washington, D.C., and is part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country with nearly 10 million supporters.
The Parma Greece United Church of Christ is located at 1211 Manitou Road at the Latta Road intersection. Worship services are Sunday mornings at 9 a.m., led by Pastor Bradley Klug.
