Arrows in the Sky

10/16/2026

Last night was nothing short of beautiful. 🤍

Families from Coldwater, Mississippi, and surrounding communities gathered for our first Wave of Light in West Tennessee and North Mississippi at Arkabutla Baptist Church. Some came to remember their own babies. Others came to stand beside someone they love. Every person came with a story, and every story mattered.

As the evening began, the sun slowly disappeared behind the trees. Before long, the candles we held became the lights surrounding us, each one representing a precious life gone too soon.

There were tears. There was worship. There was love. And there were names spoken that deserve to be heard for a lifetime.

One message echoed through the words of our speakers, never stop talking about your baby.

And to those walking alongside grieving families, please don't stop showing up.

Ask how they're doing. Remember the birthdays, anniversaries, and dates that changed everything. Say their baby's name. Even when years have passed. Especially when years have passed.

Because one of the greatest gifts we can give a grieving family is the reassurance that their child has not been forgotten.

To every family who trusted us with a piece of their story last night, thank you. To every volunteer and individual who helped bring this vision to life, thank you.

What began as a desire to bring this evening of remembrance beyond East Tennessee became a reality, and we pray it's only the beginning of a tradition that continues for years to come.

Their lives mattered then. They matter today. And they will matter for every year that follows. 🤍

October 15. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. 🤍

As our team prepares for our first-ever Wave of Light serving West Tennessee and North Mississippi tonight, we're reminded that this day is about so much more than a date on the calendar. More than an event. More than a single evening celebrating lives gone too soon.

It's about the families whose lives changed in an instant.

There was a time when October 15th was just another day on the calendar for many of us.

Before we understood what it meant to lose a baby. Before we knew the weight of an empty nursery, a fading ultrasound picture, or a future filled with questions that will never have answers.

Before we became connected to people we may have never otherwise met, through an experience none of us would have ever chosen.

And yet, here we are. On the other side of understanding.

Ecclesiastes 1:18 reminds us that with greater wisdom comes greater sorrow.

There is a wisdom that comes with losing a child that none of us ever asked for. But now that we carry it, we have an opportunity to use what we've learned to bring hope to someone else.

So today, we're asking you to pray.

Pray for our team as they prepare to welcome families tonight, some experiencing their very first October 15th without their baby, and others who have carried this grief for years or even decades.

Pray for the families who will turn on a candle tonight in remembrance of a little life whose light has never gone out in their hearts.

And pray for the families we haven't met yet. The ones who don't know that one day they, too, may find themselves on this side of understanding.

We pray that the wisdom none of us wanted will never be wasted. That God will continue to use our stories, our grief, and our love to point others toward the hope we have in Jesus.

Because we cannot change what happened to our families. But we can change what happens when another family faces it.

We can show up. We can remember. We can remind them that their baby's life mattered long before anyone else knew their name.

And we can keep doing it, year after year, for as long as God allows us.

Today, we remember every baby. Every family. Every life that changed ours forever.

And tonight, as families gather across the world for the International Wave of Light, we will remember together.

One Act. Endless Ripples. 🤍

One act of hope. Endless ripples. 🤍

Tomorrow is our first Wave of Light in the West Tennessee and North Mississippi community, and tonight, a group of people gathered in a living room to help make it happen.

Not because they had to. Not because there was anything in it for them. But because someone had a vision, shared it with others, and they said yes.

In a world that feels increasingly divided, moments like this remind us of something we all have in common: the need for connection, compassion, and community.

And that’s exactly what happened here.

What started as one person’s desire to bring hope to grieving families has become a community of people giving their time, their talents, and their hearts to make it possible.

Tomorrow, families will gather to remember babies they wish were still here. And behind every candle, every chair, and every detail is someone who chose to care.

This is how hope spreads. One person says yes. Someone else joins them. And before you know it, that one act has reached people you may never even meet.

To Kim, Garrett, and every person who has helped bring this evening to life, thank you.

This is what community looks like.

One Act. Endless Ripples. 🤍

THURSDAY IS THE DAY! 🤍

What started as a vision to bring our Wave of Light beyond East Tennessee is becoming a reality.

Thursday evening, for the very first time, families from West Tennessee and North Mississippi will gather to remember the babies who were born into Heaven or gone far too soon.

Some will be lighting a candle for the very first time. Others have been carrying their grief for years, even decades.

Different stories. Different journeys. But the same love for the children who changed our lives forever.

We are so grateful for everyone who has poured their hearts into making this evening possible, especially our West Tennessee Associate Director, Kim Davison, whose vision brought us here.

Join us for an evening of worship, remembrance, and encouragement as we welcome guest speaker Michelle Wolfe, who will share her heart and the story of her precious son, Peyton.

📍 Arkabutla Baptist Church | Coldwater, MS
📅 Thursday, October 15
🕡 6:30–8:00 PM
🤍 FREE | No RSVP Required

Whether you are remembering your own baby or coming to support someone you love, there is a place for you.

Thursday, we will say their names. We will turn on our candles. And we will remind one another that no life is too brief to be remembered.

Because their lives mattered then. They matter now. And they always will. 🤍

HOPE IS MOVING WEST. 🤍

Sometimes, all it takes is one evening to plant a vision for something bigger.

After attending our Celebration of Life: Wave of Light at the Roane County Courthouse, our sweet West Tennessee Associate Director, Kim Davison, couldn't get the evening out of her mind.

The families. The candles. The names. The opportunity for parents to stand together and remember children whose lives were far too short, but whose impact will last forever.

She knew families in West Tennessee and North Mississippi that we serve deserved that same opportunity.

And this Thursday, that vision becomes a reality.

For the first time, Arrows in the Sky is bringing our Celebration of Life: Wave of Light to the West Tennessee and North Mississippi community!

We are incredibly honored to gather at Arkabutla Baptist Church in Coldwater, Mississippi, on October 15th, joining families around the world in observing the International Wave of Light.

We are also grateful to welcome Michelle Wolfe as our guest speaker.

Michelle is a wife, mother, healthcare professional, and a mother who knows the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a child.

She and her husband, Alan, have been married for 25 years and are the proud parents of Chandler, Madison, and their precious son, Peyton, whose life continues to shape their family.

Through her own experience with infant loss, Michelle understands the grief that so often goes unseen. She knows what it means to carry a child in your heart long after you can no longer hold them in your arms.

By sharing Peyton's story, she hopes to remind other families that their babies matter, their grief matters, and they are not alone.

We are so thankful she is willing to share such a personal part of her family's story with us.

Whether your loss happened days ago or decades ago, whether you are remembering your own baby or standing beside someone you love, we hope you'll join us.

We cannot wait to meet so many of you face to face.

And Kim, thank you for seeing what was possible and having the heart to bring it to another community.

What began as one family's desire to remember their baby has become an opportunity for families in more communities to remember theirs.

Because every baby deserves to be remembered.

Every family deserves to know they are not alone.

And hope was never meant to stay in one place. 🤍

You existed. You mattered. You changed us. You are loved. And you will always be remembered.

“Plant on purpose.”

If you were with us Friday night, you know those words mean a little more now.

We had the incredible privilege of welcoming Sonya Storey as our guest speaker for our 6th Annual Celebration of Life | Wave of Light, and to say she was powerful is an understatement.

Sonya has a way of taking truth, Scripture, vulnerability, and wisdom gained through real life and delivering it in a way that makes you stop and ask yourself:

What am I planting with the life God has given me?

Because the things we do today matter. The way we love people matters. The decisions we make matter. The seeds we plant in our marriages, our children, our friendships, our communities, and our relationship with Christ matter.

And that is exactly the heart behind Sonya’s book, •Plant on Purpose•

Friday night, our families were given just a glimpse of the wisdom found within its pages, and we cannot recommend it enough.

This isn’t simply a book you read and put back on the shelf. It is an invitation to examine what you are planting, where you are planting it, and what God might grow from your willingness to live intentionally.

If Sonya’s words impacted you Friday night, keep going.

If you weren’t able to join us, this is your opportunity to experience a little of what made her message so special.

Buy the book. Read it slowly. Answer the questions. Let it challenge you.

And then go plant something that matters. 🌱🤍

•Plant on Purpose• by Sonya Storey is available now on Amazon. We’ll drop the link below.

Sonya, thank you for pouring into our families and reminding us that the seeds we plant today can have an impact far beyond what we may ever get to see.

Friday night was such a beautiful reminder of what happens when a community says yes to hope.

And if I’m being completely transparent, every year starts with the same question:

Is anyone going to come?

We spend hours, days, and weeks planning and preparing. We set everything up. We wait. And there is always that moment when we wonder if anyone is actually going to show up to remember babies they may have never met.

And then, right on cue, the first family arrives.

Then another.

And another.

Familiar faces we’ve seen year after year. New faces we wish never had a reason to find us. Parents. Grandparents. Siblings. Friends. People standing beside someone they love.

And suddenly, we’re reminded all over again why we keep doing this.

Because families deserve an opportunity to say:

Yes, my baby existed.

Yes, their life mattered.

Yes, they still matter.

And yes, I will keep saying their name and carrying their life with me.

Friday night, we stood together as people who share a kind of understanding most of us never wanted to have.

Ecclesiastes tells us that with greater wisdom comes greater sorrow. There was so much of that unwanted wisdom represented Friday night, families who know what it means to love someone they can no longer hold.

But there was also so much hope.

We worshiped together. We remembered together. We turned on our candles and watched our little corner of East Tennessee fill with lights representing lives that were far too short, but will never be insignificant.

And year after year, we will keep showing up.

We’ll keep creating a place for the family experiencing their first October without their baby and the family who has been lighting a candle for decades.

We’ll keep saying their names.

We’ll keep remembering.

Because Friday night was never about how many people showed up.

It was about who they showed up for.

To every family who joined us for our 6th Annual Celebration of Life: Wave of Light, thank you for trusting us with the privilege of remembering your baby alongside you.

They existed.

They mattered.

They still matter.

And they will always be remembered by us at Arrows in the Sky, by you, and their creator

Tomorrow night, we will turn on hundreds of little lights at the 📍Roane County Courthouse for the 6th Annual Celebration of Life | Wave of Light

And every single one will mean someone is missing.

A baby whose first cry was never heard.
A child whose name may only be spoken by a handful of people.
A first birthday that never came.
A seat at the dinner table that was never filled.
A life that may have lasted months, weeks, days, or only moments, but changed a family forever.

Tomorrow night, we remember them.

For the sixth year, families will gather for Arrows in the Sky’s Celebration of Life: Wave of Light.

Some will come carrying grief that is still incredibly fresh.

Others will light a candle for a baby they have missed for decades.

Some will stand beside a daughter, son, sister, brother, friend, or someone they love because grief was never meant to be carried alone.

And together, right here in our little corner of East Tennessee, we will make sure these babies are remembered.

There was a time when I thought moving forward meant leaving my own baby behind.

I know differently now.

You carry them with you.

Through the years.
Through the milestones that should have been.
Through the joy that eventually finds its way back.
Through every version of the person you become because they existed.

So tomorrow night, we’ll turn on our candles and look around at every little light.

And maybe, just maybe, we’ll make our little corner of East Tennessee shine brightly enough that Heaven can see us too.

To every baby we gather to remember:

You existed.
You mattered.
You changed us.
You are loved.
And you will always be remembered. 🤍
