Interact Lovingly and Save our Peace: Message to Staff after Nashville Mass Shooting

The management of CSS’ Jobs Interface expressed heartfelt condolences for Covenant School and the wider Nashville community. Employees were among the three adults and three children who were killed at Monday’s mass shooting there.

Jobs Interface’s General Manager, Terry Woodoson says that workers should be encouraged to remain faithful even in difficult circumstances.

The workers who were victims:

Katherine Koonce headed Covenant School and lost her life.  She had pure love for the Covenant Presbyterian Church community, according to staff. Mike Hill was working as a facilities/kitchen staff at 61yo, a friendly custodian at the school. He fathered seven of his own children and got 14 grandchildren. And Cynthia Peak was also 61, and only temporarily sitting in as a substitute teacher.

Woodson was also heartbroken by the ‘tremendous loss’ of three lovely children, saying,

“I hope that the parents, family, staff and community have all begun to heal”.

Covenant has committed to prioritizing the well-being of the community. In a statement yesterday the organization said:

We appreciate the outpouring of support we have received, and we are tremendously grateful to the first responders who acted quickly to protect our students, faculty and staff. We ask for privacy as our community grapples with this terrible tragedy – for our students, parents, faculty and staff.

Workers there created a graphic message of encouragement to those affected. It is a message that the team hopes will help in the healing process and is an appeal to “Interact Lovingly”.

“Let nothing cost you your Peace”, it says.

“The team at Jobs Interface join the Nashville community to add our thoughts and prayers in support of those who grieve this senseless crime”, Woodson said.
