CLAY CENTER -- Meadowlark Hospice began hosting Tree of Light ceremonies thirty years ago to celebrate the life of or in honor of someone during the holiday season. These remembrance ceremonies are usually held in the communities they serve.
The Tree of Light ceremonies this year, however, will be virtual events via Facebook Live on Dec. 6 and 13, at 2 p.m.
"We value the importance of face-to-face time to remember those we love and miss, but feel it is the best interest for our communities to make the change to a virtual event. We hope that we can host in-person remembrance ceremonies in the spring," Meadowlark Hospice noted in a news release.
The Dec. 6 live event will be placing the angels on a tree outside office building. The angels will have names on them of loved ones who are remembered this holiday season. The names will be read during the event. If you would like to add an angel to the tree they are available at the Meadowlark office at 709 Liberty Street in Clay Center.
Then, on Dec. 13 at 2 p.m., Meadowlark Hospice will host a Candlelight Remembrance Ceremony via Facebook Live. Join us for a pre-recorded candlelight remembrance ceremony to remember your loved ones during this holiday season. Gather your friends and family and have a candle ready to light in memory of your loved one.
