RESTORING THE HEART ~ a journey of healing and caring for the sorrow of pregnancy and infant loss

Wednesday July 22
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Central Lutheran Church - Sanctuary
1103 School Street
Elk River, MN 55330

This is a special event for families who have experienced a loss due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or other early neonatal loss.

Our speaker will be Candy McVicar of Maple Grove, Minnesota. She and her husband Steve personally experienced tragedy in their life, when their daughter Grace was stillborn in December 2001. In honor of Grace they formed the Missing GRACE Foundation, an International support organization. Its mission is to provide resources and support for families that have experienced pregnancy loss, infant loss, infertility or adoption. Five core areas encompass the heart of the mission: Grieve, Restore, Arise, Commemorate and Educate. Candy delivers her messages on GRACE, marriage survival, male/female grief, facilitating support groups, and many other topics with a candor and sincerity which people can relate to so well. Along the way, she has learned to successfully meet certain challenges in order to reach the other side of grief. If you are facing your own loss and grief issues, you may also need to successfully meet these challenges.

Pre-registration appreciated but not required. Childcare is available if requested in advance.
