About this Event
This spring, a new Healing Garden is blooming in our community—designed by families who have lost loved ones to violence as a place for peace and restoration.
Before the first seeds are planted, join us for Light the Night, a lantern memorial dedicated to those we lost too soon to gun violence. This all-ages event is open to anyone looking for healing. We will create DIY lanterns, and hold a community prayer circle to bless the garden site and the hearts of those who designed it before lighting our lanterna together.
Tickets & Details:
- Reserve a ticket to receive your DIY lantern kit.
- Refreshments provided (while supplies last).
- All ages welcome.
Be a part of this special experience as we light up the night and prepare the ground for a season of healing.
Youre welcome to bring your own lanterns - ALL lanterns must use LED lights to prevent fire hazards.
