On Wednesday, April 17, Lipscomb’s Psychology Department’s Death and Dying class will be hosting a memorial service in the Ezell Chapel at 7:30 p.m.
The service is open to all students and faculty, whether they have lost someone or not.
The Death and Dying class decided to host the memorial service because they believed many people related to the Lipscomb family have lost their lives this past year.
“We felt that, because of the theme of our class, it would be a good idea to host a memorial service to reach out to the student body to have a time of reflection on the ones we have lost,” junior Ashley Anderson said.
The service will begin with an opening prayer and welcome. Following the welcome, everyone in attendance will be given a piece of paper to write the name of the person they have lost or would like to pray for. The papers will be collected and randomly distributed back out to the audience as prayer request cards.
There will be a few minutes of meditation and reflection time along with an interactive passage. John Owings, a Lipscomb Bible professor, will also be speaking during the service.
The Death and Dying Memorial Service is meant to be a time of reflection and meditation on those we have lost, and remembrance on their lives and legacies they have left behind.
