Candle Lighting Service |
|
At our December meeting we hold a memorial candle lighting service to honor our children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters. All family members are invited. The service consist of a short program with music. We are then, each of us given an opportunity to light a candle in our child’s memory and speak their name. Our primary focus during this time is remembering our precious children and giving to them a special service amidst the holiday season. Following the service we have a time of fellowship. Each of us brings a favorite holiday food of our child's to share and we place their photo along side of the dish. This is a wonderful opportunity to share stories and memories with each other as we are introduced to each others children through their photos, favorite foods and our stories. |

World Wide Candle Lighting The World Wide Candle Lighting Service is held the second Sunday of each December, this year December 9, 2007. This candle lighting service creates a virtual 24 hour wave of light around the world as each time zone lights their candles at 7PM for 1 hour. If there are no services held in your area, please light a candle in your own home wherever you are and invite family and friends to do the same as a way to honor and remember our children that have died.
