Worldwide candle lighting service Sunday

A Worldwide Candle Lighting service will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Grace Lutheran Church, 119 W. Dunbar St., Alpena, sponsored by Remembering Our Children (R.O.C.), a grief support group for families that have lost a child of any age. Feel free to bring a picture or special remembrance of your child to display, or wear a shirt with your child’s photo on it.

Join in this ceremony with inspirational music, readings, a candle lighiting at 7 p.m., a PowerPoint presentation and a recitation of each child’s name. Light refreshments and time for sharing will follow. Candles will be provided for this outdoor ceremony. Personalize and hang an ornament on the Remembrance Tree.

To have a photo of your child included in the PowerPoint presentation, call Cathy before Dec. 6 at 989-884-2348. For other questions, call Karen at 989-358-2251 or kmwmc118@hotmail.com, or Polly at 989-356-0849 or pollya63@yahoo.com.

A collection of new, unwrapped toys will be taken for Toys for Tots. This event is in conjunction with Compassionate Friends. If weather is bad or you are unable to come, light a candle at home at 7 p.m.
