The service will take place at Westminster Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m.

It is open to the public, with free parking and handicap access to the church located on Perry Street.

Collins’ case has launched a review into Children’s Services and a letter-writing campaign was started to create a law to protect children who are pulled from school and are at risk of abuse.
