Advent wreath ceremony at Beckley Lutheran church
Young members of the Beckley Lutheran Mission built and hung an advent wreath above the altar to mark the four Sundays before Christmas. The wreath symbolizes eternal life and purity, with candles lit each Sunday as prophecies of Christ are read. Participants included Sandy Caseino, Alan Crossland, Steve Vogel, Sheila Phillips, Roberta Caseino, Jack O’Neil, and Donna O’Neil. The wreath was given to the congregation by the confirmation class via Steve Vogel. A nearby street scene on Neville Street depicts a brisk Christmas shopping atmosphere with light snow.
