We will gather between 6:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Peace United Methodist Church at 303 South 9th Avenue, Virginia and at 7:00 pm we will proceed to the Children’s Memorial Park as a group. We encourage you to dress warmly. Following a brief service at the park, the candlelight service will take place inside the Peace United Methodist Church chapel.

There are over one hundred such parks in existence. The initial memorial statue and subsequent memorial parks were inspired by the book “The Christmas Box” by the author Richard Paul Evans.
Please feel free to bring a white flower in memory of your loved one to be placed at the base of the Angel statue. A picture board will be available for you to place a photo of your loved one. The photo will remain until after the service is completed.
