The holidays can be difficult for those who miss loved ones, whether they have died, moved away, or become estranged. Our Memorial Tree service at 4:30 this Sunday, December 4, remembers the three young St. Anne’s parishioners who tragically died in a car accident many years ago, and allows the opportunity for us to mourn and honor them and all others whom we have lost. Attendees are led in reflective prayer and are invited to hang ornaments for their loved ones. As darkness surrounds us, the Tree’s lights are turned on, and we close the service in peace and hope.
Following this service, we move to the Sanctuary for Blue Christmas, a short service of candles, quiet, and prayer in which we reflect on love, grief, and joy.
We welcome everyone from all walks of life and faith to attend both services.
