This special event offers individuals and families the opportunity to come together, remember loved ones and celebrate the lives that continue to shape our hearts and memories.
Family Memory Event
Before the church service, families are invited to join us for a warm and welcoming remembrance gathering.
Together we:

Share stories and treasured memories of loved ones
Take part in creative remembrance activities
Spend time with others who understand the experience of loss
This informal pre-service event provides a gentle and supportive space for reflection, connection and remembrance.

During the service, attendees are invited to:
Reflect on the lives of loved ones
Listen to readings and messages of comfort
Light candles in memory of those they have lost
Share a collective moment of remembrance, hope and love
Whether your loss is recent or occurred many years ago, everyone is welcome to join us in remembering those who will always remain part of our lives.
