A special service for those grieving during the holiday season is taking place at a Penticton church on Saturday.
The candlelight memorial service will be held at Oasis United Church, 2964 Skaha Lake Road.
"It is for people who have lost loved ones to come and have a place to reflect," said minister Ken Jones.
The memorial was organized by Marlene Armson, with Stepping Stone Grief Support.
Armson has been involved with support groups since the loss of her grandson in 1990.
At the time she was living in Saskatchewan and organized candlelight services every year to help people cope with the holidays. After moving to Penticton she created Stepping Stone,
When she approached Oasis about the candlelight memorial they were receptive to the idea.
"It's important because special holidays like Christmas are really tough for those that have lost a loved one," she said. "If we set aside one hour to honour them it helps with our healing."
People will be invited to put up a decoration with the name of the person they are missing on a tree and light candles.
The memorial service will be at 2 p.m.
