Two Orgs Hold Trayvon Martin Prayer Vigil
By Crystal Goodremote

Cedarville students pray at a vigil in response to the death of Trayvon Martin. The vigil was organized by two student organizations.
In light of the controversy and racial issues brought up by the Trayvon Martin case, the Diversity Student Programming Team and the P.E.A.C.E Project held a prayer vigil April 12.
Amber Strickland, one of the event’s organizers, said several people thought the vigil meant the university was taking sides on the case, but it was meant to be just a time of prayer for America.
“We sought to pray for the families of Trayvon Martin as well as George Zimmerman and his family,” Strickland said. “We were not seeking to cast judgment or condemn anyone but to come together and pray for our country as we grapple with several different issues the coverage of Trayvon’s death has made apparent.”
