Community Interfaith Memorial
September 12, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join the Michigan Humanists at the Community Interfaith Memorial
Franklin Crownover will be speaking as a representative of the Michigan Humanists.
DESCRIPTION
For the past nine years, local hospice care providers have combined efforts to create a service for centering and healing. We Remember: A Community Interfaith Memorial has been and continues to be a space where the words, rhythms, and practices of the interfaith community are offered for people to support and uphold each other in our adversity and loss. Using the language of many traditions – prayers, songs, reflections, music, and readings from sacred texts – this service gives language to grief, mourning, and celebration of life. Certainly, as the Interfaith Memorials of years past have shown, resilience is found within every religious, secular, and spiritual identity.
This year’s event will take place at the Catholic Information Center on Tuesday, September 12 from 6:30pm-8:00pm . The annual event will offer a 30-minute memorial-style service, featuring persons from diverse religious / secular / spiritual traditions, followed by interactive family-friendly activities to process loss and remember our loved ones. The service will feature music, reflection, meditation, and poetry inclusive to all traditions.
Whether grieving recent losses, honoring those who have long since passed, or simply curious as to how various traditions commemorate the passing of life, all are welcome to share in this family-friendly space.
This event has been tagged as community, grief, interfaith, memorial, and remembrance.
