ANGELS OF LOVE was established in 1997 by Rick and Sally Cryder. Rick’s dream was to create a ministry that made stained-glass Angels that were freely given to bring encouragement, love, hope, peace, and comfort to people during difficult circumstances—whether grieving the loss of a family member or suffering from a serious illness, disability, or tragedy.
These beautiful stained-glass, gold-plated Angels take approximately three hours to make. Their beauty is matched by the generous hearts of the volunteers who donate their time, talent, and material resources to the Angels of Love Ministry.
Our ministry is very small and our funding and volunteer base is very limited, so unfortunately we can only make one angel per family. Thank you for understanding.
Presidents Call To Service Award
May 23, 2008
On July 13, 2007, many of the volunteers of Angels of Love gathered at the Orange County Sheriff's office to be presented with the President’s Call to Service Award from President George W. Bush. This award is given to volunteers who have worked in excess of 4,000 volunteer hours.
“For He will give His Angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11
We have received many letters and emails from people over the years who have either received an Angel of Love or who have worked with the Angels of Love program.
Also, click here to read some of the heartfelt letters sent to us.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BEAUTFUL ANGEL! WE RECEIVED IT TODAY AND WE CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO US .ONE OF OUR BIGGEST FEARS HAS BEEN THAT OUR SON WOULD BE FORGOTTEN AND THAT HIS SACRIFICE WOULD BE MEANINGLESS . IT IS VERY CONFORTING TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT DO CARE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH YOU. "
