I live in the St. Louis area, where the local news has been dominated by events in Ferguson. Community groups have been pulling together to help within the community, and some groups have been collecting donations for Ferguson persons who haven't been able to get to stores because of the discord during several recent evenings. This article from one of the local TV stations describes the kinds of protesters in the community: http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/20/two-teams-of-protesters-ferguson/14366151/ Pastors have been working toward reconciliation: http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/20/pastors-team-up-to-provide-positive-place-for-ferguson-kids/14360075/ The New Yorker has an interesting article about the movement that is growing as an outcome of Michael Brown's shooting. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/movement-grows-ferguson US Attorney General Eric Holder has arrived in town, and meanwhile a grand jury Holder's visit came as a grand jury has begun to gather evidence about whether Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson should be charged in Brown's death. http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/20/eric-holder-ferguson-investigation/14356215/ Let's continue in prayer.
