St. Timothy's Church

Christopher Foundation Memorial Service 12/21/09

The death of a loved one is traumatic, even for people of faith. The sorrow, pain and seperation is often magnified during major holidays. The death of a loved one through their own action is even more traumatic. It leaves many person/families with difficult questions, feelings of guilt, perhaps shame and certainly remorse. The Christopher Foundation in cooperation with St Timothy's Church will offer a first annual memorial service for those whosw loved one(s) have committed suicide. The service will be informal and brief. Part of the service will offer an opportunity to place a decoration on a Christmas tree that serves as a reminder or represents our loved one. An opportunity to give a testimony or speak about yoyr loved one is also part of the service (even though no one is required to speak) St Timothy's Church is located on 200 Ingleside Avenue between Edmonson and Frederick, Catonsville. The service will held in the Church auditorium. All persons are welcomed. For information please contact Paige Gilmore at 410-493-1675 or Fr Terry Sweeney 443-955-2285. (more)
