Alan Pedersen’s visit to the area with his Angels Across the USA Van, his inspirational songs and messages will hit home with parents who have lost a child — from the heart of one grieving parent to another.

The program, which is sponsored by The Compassionate Friends — Carbon County Chapter, will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday at Salem UCC, located on Route 209 (next to the Turkey Hill) in Gilbert (between Palmerton and Brodheadsville). It is free and open to the public.

Please remember to share a photo of your child/grandchild/sibling, via email or bring along a 4-inch by 6-inch copy along with you that evening.

You are welcome to bring along a refreshment item along to share during the fellowship time after the program, which is not necessary, but always welcome.
