TCF Monthly Meetings

Our Chapter meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Central Congregational Church, 296 Angell Street, Providence, RI. Enter the church by the side door on Diman Place. Parking is allowed on Angell Street, Diman Place, and Stimson Avenue behind the church. The church has asked us to lock the doors, so if you are late, please ring the bell and someone will come and open the door for you. If there is a snow storm or parking ban in Providence, the meeting will be cancelled. Please check this website or our Facebook page for cancellation notices. Special events will be noted on the TCF website calendar and in our newsletter.

If you have any questions, please contact Lucille at 401-231-9229.

Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony

Picture
The 2020 TCF Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony is on Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. Please note that we will not be able to host the ceremony in person this year due to restrictions on the number of people allowed to gather indoors.  Instead, we will be posting a video with photos of all of our beloved children on this page. We will also be sharing a link to the video on our Facebook page and invite everyone to write their child's name in the comments.

If you would like to include your child's photo in the video presentation, you must send it to Becky Sheldon by November 16, 2020 at tcfprovidence@hotmail.com. (Please limit to 4 photos.) If your child has been part of the slide presentation in the past those pictures will remain in the presentation.

Sharing with the group has helped us get through many holidays and given us strength and healing from having passed through another painful event. Each passing event tells us that we can survive. And remember anticipation of any day is so much worse than the actual day itself.
