WATERVILLE — The annual Lights for Life open house and lighting of the Memorial Healing Garden is set for 5-7 p.m. Thursday at the Hospice Community Center, 304 Main St., according to a Hospice Volunteers of Waterville news release.

Hospice staff, volunteers and community members can celebrate the memory of their loved ones who have died by participating in our Lights for Life program in December. The lighting of the Hospice Memorial Healing Garden will take place at 6:15 p.m. Refreshments and fellowship will be available before the ceremony.

The lights in the Hospice Memorial Healing Garden, outside the Center, will penetrate the darkness throughout the month of December. During this time the names of your family members, friends and heroes will appear in a place of honor within the Hospice Community Center.
