Description

Remembrance, Healing and Hope We welcome you to this special community event designed with you in mind. We know that during the pandemic, we have been affected by loss in so many ways. Individuals and families have lost loved ones. First responders, healthcare workers, nursing home staff have been stretched to serve and care in ways that make already challenging professions that more challenging. Students, teachers, grocery store clerks, drivers, therapists, and the like, have all had their sense of normalcy disrupted and indelibly changed. Millions have died during a pandemic that has curtailed civic life as we know it. When we add to that, the racial unrest that has occurred in the midst of it all, the weight of our challenges can seem insurmountable. Yet, we believe that there is hope. And we believe this is the time to gather in community. To honor the memories of our loved ones, comfort those left behind, and collectively begin the process of healing and restoring hope in our communities, we invite you to an evening of Remembrance, Healing, and Hope. Remembering the people who we have lost reminds us to honor the sanctity of life in our struggle against COVID-19 and racial inequality. It also helps us to never forget what this struggle has cost us. As we gradually emerge from state orders, and other restrictions that have affected every aspect of community life, we look to the hope of what lies ahead. So, together, let us collectively experience the grace, compassion, and comfort that come only when we come together in unity. We would be honored by your presence for this evening of Remembrance, Healing and Hope. This special experience will feature sacred music, prayer, words of hope and healing from artists and spiritual and community leaders. We will also close the evening with a special lighting of candles at dusk – symbolic of the healing and hope that lies ahead of us. Join us for what we believe will be a needed spark of light that reminds us that God is more than able to comfort and heal us as we overcome the challenges this past year has brought. THIS FREE EVENT IS FOR ALL AGES AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
