Love That Remains: A Gathering for Those Missing a Parent

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can be both beautiful and complicated.

For some, these days bring celebration.
For others, they carry quiet and sometimes conflicting moments, deep memories, and love that still lingers in a different way.

At our church, we recognize that strength doesn’t mean ignoring those feelings — it means having the courage to acknowledge them.

“Love That Remains” is a gentle, welcoming space for anyone who has lost a parent and would appreciate a moment to reflect, remember, and be supported — without pressure, without expectations, and without having to “perform” strength.

This is not about public sharing or putting your emotions on display.
It’s about honoring the love that shaped you…

Whether you choose to listen, reflect quietly, or share — you are welcome.

Join us for a meaningful time that includes light refreshments, guided reflection, and a special care kit prepared just for you.

You don’t have to carry it all alone.
And you don’t have to leave your strength at the door — just come.

Registration is encouraged so we can prepare your care kit: https://go2bethany.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/121/responses/new
