Despite pandemic, annual event continues to ‘Shine a Light for Seniors’
With so many traditions put on hold this holiday season, Emporia Presbyterian Manor’s annual “Shine a Light for Seniors” event served as a beacon of hope for 2021. Although held virtually this year, the event’s annual dedication ceremony took place on December 5 and featured the lighting of around 200 luminarias consisting of mason jars filled with small lights and hung from shepherd hooks along the sidewalk on the southwest corner of campus. Staged each year by Emporia Presbyterian Manor Marketing Director Crystal Stock and the community’s mission committee, the event has gone from a simple one-off idea to help celebrate the holidays to one of the community’s biggest and most-loved annual traditions. “After helping grow the idea, we now have an amazing program that continues to grow each year and that we are all so proud of,” said Crystal.
