A Memory Grows is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves as an outreach to grieving parents, and as a resource to hospitals, clinics, hospice groups, churches and other nonprofit organizations. It is led by DeAndrea Dare who pastored AUMC for many years.
Our mission is to provide a space of healing and peace for parents who are grieving the death of their child. By bringing together those who have experienced a similar loss in a retreat setting we honor and celebrate our children while making connections with others who truly understand our journey. A memory grows where love carries on.
To learn more about this ministry go to A Memory Grows. If you would like to help provide meals for AMG Retreats contact Janice Cole or sign up at the Connection Center this Sunday.
