All of us here at CUMC send out or prayers to those involved in the bus crash on I-465 near Keystone. It was a church bus with youth aboard.

Update:
The bus was one of a caravan bringing 65 children home from Camp CoBeAc in Prudenville, Mich. The bus that crashed reportedly was carrying children in fourth grade through high school, while another bus carrying younger children arrived home safely.
