Friday will mark one year since the deadly shooting during a potluck supper at a Vestavia Hills Church.

St. Stephens Episcopal Church announced Monday they will hold a service Friday at 6:30 p.m. to remember slain victims Jane Pounds, 84, Bart Rainey, 84, Sharon Yeager, 75, as well as those who survived the gunfire.

The service will be held in the Nave and can also be watched online.

“It is with much love and gratitude that we say, ‘Thank you’ to the larger community who has supported Saint Stephen’s over the past year,’’ church officials wrote in a Facebook post. “Your love has been felt and continues to help us heal.”

Here is our full coverage of the case

Police responded that Thursday, June 16, 2022, the church on a report of an active shooter. It happened during a “Boomers Potluck” dinner that started at 5 p.m. at the church.

There were about 25 people at the dinner in the parish hall including Smith, who had previously attended the church and at least one of the potluck dinners.

Smith was sitting alone, and a longtime church member approached him and invited him to sit at a table, said the Rev. Doug Carpenter, who founded the church in 1973 and retired in 2005. He identified himself to victim Rainey only as “Mr. Smith” and refused to join them.

Smith then pulled out a handgun and shot three people. Jim Musgrove, a church member, hit the shooter with a chair and wrestled the gun away from him.

Rainey was pronounced dead on the scene. Yeager and Pounds were taken to UAB Hospital where they later died.

In May, 71-year-old Robert Findlay Smith pleaded guilty to capital murder and was sentenced to life without parole.

A motive was never determined.
