Annual Candlelight Memorial Service

Each year during the Christmas season, we host a Candlelight Service to honor our loved ones who have recently passed away.  This year’s memorial service will be held 7:00 p.m. Thursday, December 6, 2012 at the Aderhold Funeral Home Chapel and will be led by Dr. John Crowder, pastor of First Baptist Church of West.  For more information, you may call Janice Kaluza at (254) 826-5321.

We invite all families who have lost loved ones throughout the past year to gather as a family to honor and remember the one they have shared memories with and loved.  Each family brings a small framed picture of their loved one to place on our memorial table.  We have a Christmas tree displayed in our Chapel and each loved one’s name is called during the ceremony and the family is asked to come up and light a candle in their memory and place an angel on the tree.  There will also be food and fellowship after the service, and a time for sharing memories with family, friends and others who have also lost someone very close to them.  The angels will remain on the tree at the funeral home until the New Year at which time you may come by to pick up your angel to keep as another treasured memory of your loved one.
