On December 12, 2014, the life of Rev. Matthew Crebbin, of Newtown and his community were changed forever when a gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary and murdered 20 children and 6 adults. Once the initial shock began to wear off, Rev. Crebbin faced the question of how could his community heal in the years ahead.

What people are saying
‘“This project is an exceptional resource for caregivers, faith communities, and theological education, and is long overdue. It provides deep insight into the pain incurred by pastors as they endeavor to care for the broken and wounded. This documentary gives pastors permission to hurt, cry, and seek healing for themselves.” — Rev. Dr. Willard Ashley, Sr., New Brunswick Theological Seminary.‘
