TCF QLD ANNUAL CANDLELIGHT REMEMBRANCE SERVICE held on a Sunday in December.
Venue: St Andrew's Anglican Church cnr Fairley Street & Lambert Road Indooroopilly
Q 4068
Each year TCF Qld holds a Christmas Candlelight Remembrance Service. The format
is one where items submitted by bereaved families are read, their songs are
played and central to the evening is the lighting of a candle in memory of each
of our children who have died. Those present are invited to write a message
to their child on a small card and place it beside a candle which will then
be lit. This is a very special evening for bereaved parents and their families
as it gives them an opportunity to express their feelings and acknowledge their
children in a beautiful, meaningful way-especially helpful at this time of year
when Christmas festivities are all around us. We invite members to submit items
for inclusion in our Service. Suitable items are poetry, verses, other readings
and appropriate songs. Should you wish to submit a song, please send in a cassette
recording of it-however please be aware that the number of songs we can play
is limited. You are asked to send your item to our postal address or email us
or bring it into the Drop-in Centre. Closing dates falls in November.
If you have any queries, please telephone us on 3254 2657. The opportunity
is offered for a member of the family to read their item, but if that is not
possible we do have other people available who are happy to read your item on
your behalf. Please advise us when you send in your contribution whom your planned
reader is, or if you wish us to organize a reader. At the completion of the
service, we adjourn to the hall where supper is served. It would be much appreciated
if you are able to bring along a plate to share for supper. All bereaved parents,
siblings and grandparents and their families are warmly invited to attend this
special event.
