| • Worldwide Candle Lighting to Support Bereaved Families - The passing of a child is devastating - and sometimes it's hard for friends and family to show those most affected that their treasured child will always be remembered. Of course, those who've lost children also need a venue to express their love for their child.
That's why members The Compassionate Friends (TCF) of Santa Clarita will participate in an annual worldwide event designed to honor the memories of all children, regardless of age. The Chapter is joining Sunday, December 14 with hundreds of organized memorial services around the world for The Compassionate Friends annual Worldwide Candle Lighting, an event now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting in the world. The local candle lighting will be part of a special service held at 6:30pm at Canyon Country Park (l7615 West Soledad Canyon Road) and will feature poems, selected readings, music, a slide show and performances with featured singers. Candles are first lit at 7pm, local time, just west of the International Date Line. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lighted in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light as the observance continues around the world. TCF's national website, www.compassionatefriends.org, is expected to receive and post information on more than the 550 services submitted to and listed on its website. The website will also open a Remembrance Book on December 14 which, in a 24-hour-period, will receive thousands of tributes from family members and other caring individuals. To contact The Compassionate Friends of Santa Clarita, call Diane Briones at 252-4654 or Alice Renolds at 252-4374. Phone #: 252-4654 or 252-4374 |
