Thousands of people turned out for a vigil on Wednesday night at The Crossing Christian Church.

The pastor of the church said that the vigil was not only about remembering the victims, but also about bringing hope and healing to a community that is hurting after 58 people were killed at a country music festival on Oct. 1.

Attendees held candles and tiny cards containing the names of victims during the vigil.
