Please join us for our Micah Community All Saints' Day. This is the evening each year that we set aside space to remember the homeless and formerly-homeless neighbors we have lost over the course of the last year.
This annual tradition that used to take place around the Christmas season. We now host the night of remembrance to coincide with All Saints' Day, to honor the memory of all those we have lost in our Micah community.
In 2024, we have seen the loss of many of our neighbors. We gather in their memory, to memorialize those who often are left with no headstone, yet are claimed by name to God.
Please join on Tuesday, October 29, on the Methodist Green. (At Fredericksburg United Methodist Church - the green space on the Princess Anne Street side.)
We will begin at 5 PM with the "Camp Vigil," where you can visit the memorial campsites set up throughout the Green to remember those we lost.
At 5:45 PM, join us for our candlelight memorial service, including prayer, liturgy, and song.
Come as you are!
