2010 Remembrance Service a Success!
Too Many Candles
We would like to thank everyone that was able to join us this past Sunday for the 2010 Holiday Service of Remembrance! It was even bigger than last year. Nearly 350 candles were lit in remembrance of loved ones.
This year’s service included prayers, a message of hope, the lighting of the military candle, and of course the lighting of the memorial candles. There were also multiple musical solos including I Light a Candle for You and If You Could See Me Now. I’ve posted the video for the latter song below!
A big thank you to this year’s sponsors: Phillips Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Carpenter’s Funeral Home LLC, and also to Victory Highway Wesleyan Church.
Thank you again for joining us this year. We hope that you will also be able to join us next year to support those that have lost someone or to seek your own support from others.
