The Tradition of the Candle

As a part of the sabbatical sending, two candles were on the altar. One was left there to be lit when people gather to worship while I'm away. The other is with me to be lit daily to remember the people of Augustana. When I am in Israel, my granddaughter will light it for me at breakfast time. I'll take a picture of it lit for when I'm away. I like this tradition.
