The holidays can hold both joy and grief at the same time. This season, remembering our loved ones might look like lighting a candle, continuing a tradition they loved, sharing their stories, or honoring them in quiet, personal ways. There’s no right or wrong way to remember, only what feels true to your heart. 🤍🎄

The holidays can be especially hard for someone who’s grieving. You don’t need to fix their pain,
just be present, offer gentle support, and let them feel what they’re feeling.

Simple gestures, a listening ear, or including memories of their loved one can mean more than grand gestures. Patience, empathy, and small acts of kindness go a long way. 🕊️

Tonight’s 10th Angel Legacy Memorial Service offers a peaceful and heartfelt space to remember and honour loved ones. It is a time to bring those who are no longer with us into the holiday season in a meaningful way.

The evening includes a welcome and reflection from Pastor Shane Hein, meaningful messages and readings shared by Lynett Getz, Roger Sept, Jeanette Fraser, and Ashlyn Lawrence, as well as a beautiful candle-lighting ceremony. Together, these moments create a half-hour gathering of remembrance, comfort, and shared light as we move into the holidays.

All are welcome. See you at 7:00 pm.🕊️

Over the years, our Medicine Hat community has helped us raise over $34,000 for the Santa Claus Fund through our annual Angel Legacy Tree. Every Angel purchased and every name remembered directly supports this cause, with 100% of Angel proceeds helping families who otherwise couldn’t afford Christmas.

Together, we’ve turned remembrance into generosity, ensuring more children wake up to the magic of Christmas. Thank you for helping us make that possible. 🤍🎅🏼
