I thought this might be of interest to those in Jamestown, NY or Warren, PA.
Friend to Friend Support Group invites you to join with tens of thousands of families around the globe for the tenth annual Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony to remember all children who have died. The event is free and will be held at First Lutheran Church of Warren, corner of Third Ave. and East Street on Sunday, December 10 at 6:30 pm.
“This is truly a worldwide event that allows bereaved families everywhere the opportunity to unite following their combined loss and to show the world that while a child may have died, that child was important and will never be forgotten,” says Carna Chamberlin, LSW, who facilitates the support group on behalf of Family Services of Warren County. “Whether someone has suffered the personal loss of a child, brother or sister, or grandchild, or simply wants to show compassion to those who have, we encourage all to join with us in remembering those children who are no longer here.”
The names of loved ones will be read during the ceremony. Participants can bring a picture or memento of their loved one to display. A time of sharing and refreshments will be held after the candle lighting.
Family Services of Warren County provides comprehensive and professional counseling, drug and alcohol services, and youth programs. It is a United Fund Member Agency. For more information about this special event or any of its other services, please call (814) 723-1330.
