"Tree of Light' ceremony is this Saturday

"A light is

symbolic of life and love. Through the ages, across all

religious lives, light represents the true spirit of the

holidays as we remember family and friends, and think of

gifts and the wonder of life."

-- Anne

Southwest

Christian Hospice Tree of Light will be a part of

"Fayette Christmas on Main Street" again this

year. The Lighting of the Tree will take place on

Saturday, Dec. 4, at 6 p.m. along with a Christmas music

program featuring students from Fayette County schools.

The Tree of

Light offers a way in which residents may share in the

ministry of Southwest Christian Hospice. A live tree has

been placed on the grounds of the Fayette County

Administrative Complex at the intersection of Georgia

Hwy. 85 and Stonewall Avenue across from the Fayette

County Courthouse in honor of this organization. Each

light on the tree will represent a donation of $15 or

more given in memory or honor of someone special.

Southwest

Christian Hospice offers home care services, free of

charge, to terminally ill residents of South Fulton,

Fayette, Clayton, Coweta and Henry counties. Established

in 1983, Southwest Christian Hospice has ministered to

more than 1,600 patients and their families. Since the

opening of the organization's inpatient facility in 1987,

volunteers have given more than 114,000 hours of service.

The Tree of

Light provides a living symbol of the presence of loved

ones. Funds raised through this project are used to

support this ministry.
