Empty Chair service at Waynesburg church
St. Ann’s Church, 232 E. High St., Waynesburg, will host the 11th annual Empty Chair service at 7 p.m. Monday.
The nondenominational memorial service offers a chance for those mourning the loss of a loved one to honor them. The Rev. Donald Wilson will officiate the service.
The Empty Chair was started by Sandy Seybold and Carol Furmanek, who each lost a child to crime. The candlelight portion of the program will include the reading of names, and Memory Stars will be placed on a holiday tree. Seybold also continues the tradition of creating and distributing hand-crafted ornaments for participants to take home.
Those who attend are invited to bring a picture of their loved ones for memory boards, which are displayed during the service. Refreshments will be provided in fellowship hall after the service.
