Memorial Balloon Release

In 2018 we added a new way to honor those who have gone from our world and onto the next. We hosted our first Memorial Balloon release which allowed people to purchase a balloon and  write a special message or name of a loved one onto the balloon. After the hog roast we all gathered outside for a short prayer and moment of silence as the balloons ascended into the clouds. We look forward to continuing this tradition next year. ​
