an EVENING OF REMEMBRANCE | DECEMBER 2

The Christmas season is difficult for many – especially when you are grieving the loss of someone loved. Whether your loss has been recent or in the past, we encourage you to join us for “An Evening of Remembrance” on Monday, December 2 at 7:00 pm in the Worship Centre. This candlelight evening will give you time and space to grieve, reflect, and receive comfort through music and the Word.

We will be creating a photo tribute to the memory of those who have passed, and you are invited to submit a photo of your loved one. Please submit your photo to care@southviewchurch.com no later than November 25.

A time of fellowship and refreshments will immediately follow the service. Registration is not necessary – all are very welcome to join us. Our prayer is that you will leave this service with a sense of comfort, peace and support which will remain as we approach the upcoming Christmas season.
