Groups are working to prevent the increase of gun violence cases.

Stories surrounding gun violence continue to make headlines across the country.

Holland held a weekend event called "Wear Orange", which was part of a national movement accompanying National Gun violence Awareness Day.

Many in attendance said they support the second amendment but at the same time support reasonable restrictions on gun ownership and carrying.

Meanwhile in Kalamazoo, the Urban Alliance Youth Camps are creating a series of day camps that will target young people and emphasize breaking the cycle of gun violence.

Life Camp will be offered one day a month during June, July, and August and is geared toward those between the ages of 11 & 16.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
