St. John United Church of Christ to celebrate Totenfest this Sunday

[November 19, 2015]  LINCOLN - St. John United Church of Christ in Lincoln will celebrate the century old Christian tradition of Totenfest which means “ Remembrance of the Dead” this coming Sunday, November 22 during the 10:30 a.m. worship service.

Pastor Ken D. Kramer will conduct the service, remembering all those who have passed away in the last church year - Advent of 2014 to the present. The service will be for all whose memorial services conducted at St. John Church and members whose services were conducted elsewhere.

This is a service of respect and remembrance during which each of their names, date of birth and death will be shared while a member of their family lights a candle in their memory on the Communion Table. After each remembrance a bell will be tolled. This service is open to all family and friends of those being remembered. The church is located at 204 Seventh Street in Lincoln.
