Light a candle for children who have died but will never be forgotten

The Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church will hold a remembrance service at 6pm, Sunday, December 13, for bereaved parents, siblings, and grandparents, and their friends.

The Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon.

As candles are lit at 7:00pm. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.

If your heart is filled with memories of a child who has died, please come to this Remembrance service. Together we will unite with families and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon.

Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the 19th annual Worldwide Candle Lighting, a gift to the bereavement community from The Compassionate Friends, creates a virtual 24-hour 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 gather in quiet remembrance of children who have died, but will never be forgotten.

Doors open at 6pm with the service starting at 6:30pm. Please bring a picture of your loved one. Refreshments provided after the service.
