RELAY FOR LIFE, FAITH AND HOPE CENTER TENT RETURNS

For the second year, the churches and ministries of Pierce County are welcomed back to the Relay for Life, which was born in Tacoma 22 years ago. The "Faith and Hope Center" tent for prayer will be on site at the Mt. Tahoma High School stadium. it will serve survivors of cancer, family members whose loved one has died, medical and research personnel, caregivers, fund-raising walkers and others. Hourly, starting at 6:00 p.m. June 1 through 6:00 p.m. June 2, a different church or ministry will provide its members to comfort, encourage and support those with needs. In addition to prayer in the tent, Faith and Hope Center folks will be prayer walking the track all 24 hours.

The fight against cancer has always had praying people, but now for those who desire it, there is a place to address the spiritual component of this cure. A reflection tent is also provided for those who wish to be alone and quiet. We are excited this year to welcome the members of the prayer committee for the Franklin Graham Festival (coming to the Tacoma Dome November 2-4, 2007) who will taker an hour.
