| An
individual spiritual and emotional time of healing, the "Azaleas" ministry
is for parents who have lost a baby during the first twenty weeks of pregnancy.
This loss may be through miscarriage, abortion, or tubal pregnancy. |
| |
| Mothers
and fathers experiencing the death of their baby, grieve for their baby and the
loss of an entire lifetime with that child. Grief and loss take time to resolve.
Some parents have not been able to work through this loss which occurred many
years ago; it continues to affect their interpersonal relationships at home and
at work. | | |
| Azaleas
was established to help individuals as well as families move through their crises
toward re-establishing life without their baby. Personal growth can result from
the parent striving to become whole again and realizing God really is a God of
Love. | |  |
"Remembering Love",
a unique memorial service honoring and acknowledging early pregnany loss
is held annually at Azalea Garden on the Sunday before Mother's Day. Contact
Rev. Arends if you wish
to attend. Or, call us at the phone number below.

Azalea
Gardens provides anyone who has experienced the grief of a lost
pregnancy, a safe, private, comforting place to remember the baby
they cannot hold. Surrounding the calm reflection pond are brick
pavers with bronze plaques commemorating the tiny lives lost.

the garden


The bricks can contain a short message to the baby (see more examples
here), and may be ordered for yourself
or another thru our Contact Form/Donation
Portal with a tax deductible donation of $25 or more.
