Rainbow Community Care invites the public to a special evening of creativity, connection, and remembrance at the Memorial Ornament Craft Night on Wednesday, December 10th, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Held in the Community Room at the Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Center (1225
Remmel Dr., Johnson Creek), this event offers participants a meaningful way to honor
and include loved ones who have passed away into their holiday celebrations.

The concept developed as part of a collaborative effort from the Rainbow Bereavement
team to offer a supportive activity during the often-bittersweet holiday season.
Participants will craft a special ornament by incorporating a tangible memory of their
loved one, such as a piece of meaningful fabric (like a favorite shirt) or a photo.

“The ornament becomes a way to stay connected to those we have lost and to invite
their memories into our holiday celebrations,” said Rainbow Bereavement Counselor
Hilary Furnish. “The success of the event is measured in supporting those who have
lost loved ones to engage in making room for their grief and creating something that will
encourage the sharing of memories.”

For many, the holidays can be challenging when celebrating without a loved one.
Creating a memorial ornament offers purpose and a tangible keepsake, while crafting
alongside others provides comfort and shared storytelling. It is an opportunity to make
room for feelings of grief and to honor precious memories.

The event is free to the public, but space is limited. Interested individuals must RSVP by
calling (920) 674-6255. Older children are welcome but must be accompanied by a
parent or guardian.
