Legacy Memorial Service

The Legacy Memorial Service is an event specially designed by our Legacy ministry to provide support for grieving families who are spending their first holiday season without a loved one.

Time will be set aside in the service for them to honor their loved one, to recognize that they do not grieve alone, and to be provided ministry support as they navigate their grief process.

This will include music, meditation, and devotional thoughts. The evening will conclude with light refreshments to enhance relationship building with other grieving members of the church family.

Who is this event open to?

The event is open to any Opendoor families who have experienced the loss of a close family member in the last 12 months. It will be geared primarily to our Legacy members, but anyone grieving such a loss will be welcome. Those who just want to offer support may also attend.

Why are we holding this event? 

A part of our calling as a ministering arm of the body of Christ is to care for widows and orphans. An event such as this helps us to fulfill that calling.
