Emanuel AME Church celebrated the lives of the victims of the horrific church shooting 3 years ago.

On Sunday the congregation, along with community leaders celebrated the lives of those who were killed.

Emanuel’s head pastor, the Rev. Eric S.C. Manning, reminded the congregation why they were there. The crowd of roughly 200 grew quiet.

“Today, we pause to remember with thanksgiving and sorrow those faithful nine martyrs at Mother Emanuel AME Church who fell victim to racism and hatred and now live in eternal victory in Jesus Christ,” Manning said. “We also give thanks today for those who survived the Emanuel tragedy and for their continued witness to the relentless love of God. May God continue to strengthen them as they live to tell the story.

The shooter, Dylann Roof was sentenced to death for killing 9 people at “Mother Emanuel” church in South Carolina on June 17th, 2015.
