Sign in front of church: Praying for our Waukesha Community

When tragedy strikes a community

Tragedy struck Waukesha, Wis., on Nov. 21, 2021, when a man drove his SUV through the city’s annual holiday parade, killing six and injuring dozens more. All four Waukesha WELS congregations—Trinity, Grace, Mount Calvary, and Living Word—had members impacted that day, and all four congregations found ways to reach their members with God’s comforting promises.

Grace was participating in the parade that day with a float (pictured below). Jason Hacker, pastor at Grace, and his family were in the truck, while musicians were on the trailer preparing to play Christmas music. They saw the SUV speed past them.
