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.
comfort the spirit, nurture hope...

"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

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.
