World AIDS Day
December 1 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join CAMP Rehoboth for a World AIDS Day service on Sunday, December 1. This event will begin at CAMP Rehoboth at 5:30 p.m., where attendees will gather and proceed to walk over to All Saints’ Church on Olive Avenue in a Candlelight Procession in memory of all who have died of AIDS. The service will begin at 6:00 p.m., and a reception will be held immediately following in the parish hall.
Once again, CAMP Rehoboth will host a portion of the AIDS Quilt for viewing at All Saints’ Church, where it will serve as a powerful visual backdrop for the service as we remember the many lives lost to AIDS and reflect on its continued impact today.
Viewing opportunities not only include the service on Sunday, but also:
→ Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for private prayer and meditation and a service at 5:00 p.m.
→ Sunday between 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with services at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m and the World AIDS Day service with special music and readings at 6:00 p.m.
→ Monday between 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for private prayer and meditation
The Sunday evening service will feature names of those lost to the AIDS epidemic. These names are submitted by community members; submit names to remember below. The program will showcase performances by the ALLIANCE singers of the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus. The service will be multi-faith and secular.
