Dear Friends,

If you have experienced the death of a child - whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, accident, suicide, or any other heartbreaking circumstance - then you understand what it feels like to walk through life with a broken heart.

The upcoming season of Mother's Day & Father's Day can be a beautiful yet painful reminder of our children who are no longer here with us...

... but you are not alone. ❤️

Blue Water Hope would like to invite bereaved parents to our 3rd annual evening of encouragement & fellowship on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, at 3pm at Bridges in downtown Port Huron.

(Doors open at 2:30pm for seating.)

This year, we will be welcoming two dear friends and local parents whose journeys through child loss will encourage us & remind us that grief does not have to be carried alone.

Sandy Schultz will be sharing about motherhood and her love for her twin sons Jacob & Joshua Conant, and Austin Carroll will be talking about the impact that his infant sons Samuel & James have had on our community and his faith as a father.
