Those forgotten in life need not be forgotten in death. The spirit of the Christmas season is an opportunity for compassion and concern for all, especially the homeless.
Once again, our faith community is preparing to observe Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day in Knoxville. It is observed every year around the country on December 21st, the longest night of the year, to give an opportunity to remember the passing of people who experienced homelessness, and to bring awareness to the tragedy of homelessness.
A candle light walk and memorial service will be held to remember our homeless neighbors who died in 2011. The public is welcome.
