Alderwood of Davidson County invites community members to come together for its annual Night of Reflection: Love Still Shines on Thursday, December 3, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The evening is dedicated to remembering and honoring loved ones who have touched our lives.
Open to the entire community, Night of Reflection provides a meaningful opportunity for individuals and families to pause during the holiday season, remember someone special, and find comfort in the company of others. Guests are invited to enjoy refreshments, music, and remembrance activities followed by a peaceful luminary viewing. This free, floating event offers the opportunity to explore the Alderwood campus, locate luminaries dedicated to loved ones, and purchase a collectible ornament that can be personalized.
“Grief and remembrance are deeply personal, but there can be tremendous comfort in coming together as a community,” said Aaron Holt, Interim CEO. “Night of Reflection gives each of us a chance to honor the people we carry with us, while finding hope and connection in the light we share.”
Luminaries for the Night of Reflection may be purchased and personalized in honor or memory of loved ones at alderwoodhealth.org/event/night-of-reflection-love-still-shines. Luminaries are $10 each and will be displayed with personalized name cards on the Alderwood campus from December 3, 2026, until January 2, 2027. Each luminary represents a life remembered and a story that continues to shine through family, friends, and the community. The evening is designed to offer a peaceful, welcoming space for reflection, remembrance, and hope.
Alderwood also offers a collectible holiday memorial ornament for purchase and personalization. The 2026 ornament features an Alder tree in a colorful stained-glass style and is available for $15 or bundled with a luminary dedication for $20. Ornaments may be picked up during the Night of Reflection event on December 3, or at the Alderwood Administration Building between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, from December 3 through December 23.
The event is open to the community, and all are welcome to attend and remember someone special.
