Annual interfaith memorial service Nov. 2

Sat, 10/18/2014 - 8:00am

CHANS Hospice Care program will be holding an interfaith memorial event for anyone who has lost a loved one in the past year.

A Time for Remembering will be held on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. at Unitarian Universalist Church located at the corner of Middle and Pleasant Streets in Brunswick. The event honors people who received end-of-life care from CHANS Home Health Care, as well as others in the community who have died.

Families are invited to bring a framed photograph of their loved one to be displayed in a place of honor for the duration of the celebration. Refreshments will be served after the service.

People who would like to have the name of a loved one read at the service should call Andy Sokoloff, Coordinator of Bereavement Services at CHANS Hospice Care at 207-721-1357, by 4 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27. Messages are welcomed with name, contact information, and the full name to be read at the service.
