Annual Candle Lighting Ceremony

PLEASE   DIARISE  . . . . . . . . . .

Our  Annual  Candle Lighting  Ceremony  will be held on Tuesday 3 December, at St. Hugh’s Church, West Street, Newton Park (Up the road from Caritas) starting 19h30 – 21h00 (including tea/coffee)

Maureen Lamb, who heads the Smiley Kids Haven will be our Guest Speaker.

The Theme: “Our Child/Children Remembered during a busy Festive Season”

In lieu of a present we would have bought for our Child/Children and in honour of them, we are requesting that each family donate and bring with them to the Ceremony, White “T” Shirts, age group: 3-4; 4-5 and 5-6 years towards the children Maureen cares for.

A program, as well as candles will be provided, however, we will also be grateful if each family would  donate R20 towards this evening to cover our costs.

This is a very special time as we bring a photograph of our beloved child/children (for those who would like to), place it on a table provided in the front of the Church, near the Sanctuary and light a candle in cherished memory of them.

We are holding this Ceremony in a Church Building because of the sacredness of our remembering.  The evening will be inter-denominational, exactly what The Compassionate Friends Support Group believes in.

We are requesting ALL bereaved parents, siblings, grandparents and their relatives as well as their friends to JOIN US.
