The Covenant School in Nashville, scene of the horrific shooting on March 27 by Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old woman who identified as a man, gathered Thursday for the first time since that tragic day.
And a very special guest showed up.
“You can’t make this stuff up,” wrote Dave Barnes, who posted video of the event on social media.
“Tonight is the first time the Covenant school family has gotten together for chapel since three Mondays ago. AT Covenant, no less,” he added. “Right as we were about to start, this rainbow appeared.”
“I mean, c’mon Lord. Come ON!”
“A couple more pictures from yesterday at Covenant,” Barnes added later in an Instagram post. “For those who missed my last post – yesterday afternoon, right as we were beginning our first chapel back as the Covenant School Community and also back at Covenant Church, this rainbow came out of NOWHERE.”

“It was SO bright and SO intense and seemed to last forever,” Barnes wrote. “It was like God was yelling from heaven – ‘I see you! I have not forgotten you!'”
While rainbows are obviously an explainable atmospheric phenomenon, that’s not all they are. They also indicate that the Creator is, for lack of a better phrase, still paying attention.
