On the second Sunday of December,
the national Compassionate Friends has their worldwide candlelighting service.
We hold our program at the Angel of Hope Memorial Garden. We have a service with speakers and music, and speak our children`s
names as we light a candle in their memory.
This year's service is scheduled for Sunday December 11, 2011 at 6:30 pm. Candle Lighting promptly starts at 7:00 pm to create a 'wave a life'.
The event includes sharing of our loved one names along with readings and music. Refreshments will be provided in the pavilion following the event.
