Sunday, November20, was Mirušo Piemiņas Dienu. During the service we honored the memory of eleven sisters and brothers in Christ who went to the Lord in 2022. Ruta Ore lit a candle as each name was read by Pastor Gija Galiņa. Their flames burned brightly in a circle by the altar, reminding us that love never ends. Additional candles were on a table in front of the altar. Members of the congregation were invited to come forward and light a candle in memory of loved ones who passed away in previous years.
