December Group Meeting

"World Wide Candle Lighting Ceremony"
Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Thomas Edison Charter Schoo South
1275 W 2350 S, Nibley

Please dress warm. The actual candle lighting will be held outside.

Held annually on the second Sunday in December, The Compassionate Friends World Wide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe as they light candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died. As candles are lit at 7:00 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate children worldwide.

Believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the World Wide Candle Lighting creates a 24hr wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families and friends gather in quiet remembrance of children who are no longer with them.

The Worldwide Candle Lighting gives bereaved families everywhere the opportunity to remember their child...that their light may always shine!

Please bring a treat to share with everyone. Also bring a story, poem, scrapbook page or anything else you would like to share about your baby.

 

Message from the Watts Family

Our family looks forward to the candle lighting each year. It helps us remember our precious children that have been taken so soon. We love the feeling of closeness and unity that the candle lighting brings. It has helped us through times when we have missed them the most.

The annual Memorial Angel Tree is in the New Women Center's Lobby on the first floor. There are Angels there to fill out your Baby's name and hang on the tree. You can even decorate the angel if you would like. Hanging the angel on the tree is a great way to keep your baby in your families heart and mind this Holiday Season.
