Nathan Parker, senior pastor at Woodmont Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., fought back tears at the pulpit on Sunday as he commenced the first service since an assailant opened fire at a nearby elementary school, killing six people.

"To all who are weary and need rest, to all who mourn and long for comfort, to all who fail and desire strength, to all who sin and need a savior, this church opens wider doors once again with a welcome from Jesus," Parker told his congregation.
