Residents made their way to Hospice House on Friday evening, December 4 for what is better known as the highlight of the year at the Estcourt Hospice Association, the Tree of Lights ceremony.

Leroy Gericke welcomed all the attendees and thereafter sermons were delivered by Reverend James and Reverend Pioveson. In an atmosphere of good cheer, locals prayed and sang Christmas carols at the service in memory of loved ones, or as a celebration of the blessings in their lives.

Bruce Crathone switched on the lights.

“With lovely weather and good attendance, the Tree of Lights ceremony went well. We wish you a peaceful festive season. Thank you to all who attended and participated in the service and provided refreshments,” said Estcourt Hospice Association‘s Clinical Manager, Rena Licen.
