Holiday Remembrance Service in Moorestown

Comfort and quiet joy for bereaved families and friends.

The holidays can be difficult for those who have lost a loved one, but they can also bring back wonderful memories. Eighteen years ago, the First United Methodist Church in Moorestown created a special community event to help bereaved families and friends find a meaningful way to gather together and remember loved ones during this season.

Almost two decades later, the “Holiday Remembrance Service” endures and continues to serve new and returning participants from all over the area.

This year this special non-denominational service will take place on Sunday, December 13 at 3 P.M. in the chapel of the church, located at 446 Camden Ave. in Moorestown.
