Interfaith Homeless Memorial Service

Old Bergen Church, in cooperation with Garden State Episcopal Community Development (GSECD), will host the annual Interfaith Homeless Memorial Service. This moving experience welcomes some of the most vulnerable members of our community to share in a beautiful memorial service to name and give dignity to those of our homeless community who have passed away, but were not afforded a decent funeral. We will light candles and name those who have died this past year in our homeless shelters and on the streets.

GSECD will also provide a meal and care packages for those attending. The memorial service takes place in the sanctuary at 1:00 PM. We also encourage those who are missing loved ones particularly in this season to attend, light a candle, and remember those who are not with us physically, but whose spirits are in our hearts at Christmas and always.
