Candlelight Service of RemembranceForever loved...November 29, 2014. 6:30 to 7:10 p.m.First Floor Church All are welcome!

This is a servicefor all who aremourning the

loss of a familymember or friendas we enter intothe Christmasseason.

This night we will give birth to new beginnings. Asin the days of old, we come to the manger of life,as did the infant Jesus. And the memory of yourloved one most definitely brings life to all of us thisevening.

Holidays are family times and, when part of the

family has been taken away in death, the holidayscan only emphasize the profound void even moreso. Death is the greatest equalizer in all humanity.It shows no partiality. And so as a community ofbelievers we gather on holy ground this evening,we come to share in that pain and bless it with love.We look at those who have gathered and it is quiteobvious to see that there is an abundance of loveto go around.We invite you to join us to celebrate the verylove that drew us here tonight.
