Lights of Love event set for Dec. 1
OLBH hosting 26th installment at front entrance
RUSSELL — Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital invites the community to join in the 26th installment of the hospital’s Lights of Love celebration Dec. 1, at 6:30 p.m., at the front entrance to the hospital.
The free celebration includes a tree lighting ceremony, holiday refreshments and a sale at the new OLBH Christmas Shop.
In addition to the tree lighting, entertainment will be provided by City on a Hill Ministries from Cannonsburg Church of the Nazarene, the Adult Handbell Choir from Advance United Methodist Church, Flatwoods under the direction of Diana Williams and the Ashland Holy Family Middle School Choir.
This year’s Christmas tree was donated by OLBH Mobile Health Center employee Krista Hayes in memory of her daughter. The tree will be lit by Jacob Hankins, a four-year-old patient at Tri-State Pediatrics, and 5-year-old Austyn Thompson.
With a $5 donation to Lights of Love, a Christmas light on the tree will be dedicated in honor or memory of a loved one. Proceeds benefit the hospital’s Lifeline service — a home-emergency response unit that provides seniors assistance with just the push of a button.
The Lifeline system is a unit connected to the telephone, allowing the Lifeline user to utilize a small remote control to signal for help in the event an emergency. A call center is notified to send help when signaled.
