This special service is timed to reach out to those who are suffering grief at the loss of loved ones: family, friends, or pets. Grief seems heaviest at Christmas when the table has an empty chair, or the celebrations change or we feel their loss more powerfully.

During this hour, you will experience a quiet time, dimmed lights, tissues ready, music and opportunity to say their names out loud as we remember them and honor their memory. There will be special music, candlelight and a message of the HOPE found only in Jesus. There will be a roll call and you may bring a picture of them for the altar table.

You are not alone. Your feelings are not to be dismissed. Come and join the community of those who grieve because of love. Bring your friends or family for support or to share with them the message of Hope.
