Seventh Annual Service of Remembrance
 Lincoln Christian Church will host the Seventh Annual Service of 
Remembrance on
 Sunday, November 7, 2010, at 4:00 p.m. in the Church Sanctuary at 204 North
 
 McLean Street, Lincoln, IL. The purpose in providing this yearly gathering is 
threefold:
 
 to celebrate God’s gift of life and to worship Him for it; to honor the lives of 
loved ones
 who have died, particularly during the past year; and to provide a corporate 
opportunity
 for loved ones to process, express and heal from their grief. A special part of 
the
 service will be a time when each person who has died will be named individually 
and a
 candle will be lit in his or her memory and honor. A devotional will be brought 
by Dr.
 Paul Boatman, Seminary Dean at Lincoln Christian University, during the service.
 Music will be coordinated and led by Laurin Hill, Minister of Worship at the 
Church.
 
 Members of the Wellness Ministry Team will also take part in leading the 
service. A
 reception will be held after the service in the Fireside Room at the Church.
 
The service is open to the public, and everyone is invited to attend. If anyone 
would like
 to have a loved one recognized during the service, the name of the person and a 
photo
 can be sent to remember@lincolnchristianchurch.org or delivered to the church 
office
 prior to November 1.
