[March 23, 2015]  LINCOLN - Friends and family members recently celebrated the lives of the 58 residents of The Christian Village who passed away in the last year. The Christian Village held a Service of Remembrance to recognize residents of both the nursing home and independent living apartments and garden homes.

As each loved one was remembered, a rose was brought up to the communion table as a reminder of the individuality and beauty of that person – as well as a remembrance of the life that Christ provides, noted Chaplain Ryan Edgecombe.

Words of comfort and hope from Scripture were shared by Ernie Harvey, a chaplain with Safe Haven Hospice. Special music included “Under His Wings” and “The Bond of Love”.
