Matthews Memorial Presbyterian Church will host its third annual Cele-bration of Remembrance on Sunday, Dec. 8, at 6:00 p.m.

“This service is intended for all Albany residents, and I hope that all churches and citizens will participate,” said Debbie Hamilton, who is helping organize the event. “The purpose of the service during the holiday season is to honor family and friends who have passed on before us.” 

The service will last approximately 45 minutes to one hour and will include a testimony by Kim Neece, several special music numbers, scripture readings, and prayer. 

A highlight of the service includes an opportunity for each person attending to say the name or have the name read of individual(s) they want to honor. After that, they can light a candle in their memory. The candle can be taken home after the service.

“This is a great way to remember people who were important to you, especially those who are in your thoughts over the holidays,” said Hamilton.
