One Pembroke Pines church refuses to stop searching for missing children.

To that end, Oasis Church, 12201 SW 14th St., is throwing a Florida Missing Children’s Day luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 14 to recognized families’ unyielding attempts to locate loved ones long-feared missing or dead.

The awareness ceremony is designed to help families reunite after years of estrangement, and reinforces that one shouldn’t “give up on” missing children and adults, said Dinorah Perry, director of Missing Children International Ministries, 12289 Pembroke Road.

During the function, the church will serve a complimentary luncheon and will feature guest speakers tackling issues like old cold cases, an interpretive dance performed by a 13-year-old girl and the symbolic release of a balloon with 25 strings attached.
