ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE: October is the national month for loss. In 2004 we had our First Annual Memorial Candle Lighting Service held in the sanctuary at FBCP. We had several speakers, special poems read, songs, and Brother Mike Shaw spoke. We had a candle lighting where families were given the opportunity to light a candle in memory of their lost baby. We plan to follow with a similar service in October 2005. |
