American Cancer Society Relay for Life
Holly Hill
Church of Christ is a local sponsor of the American Cancer Society Relay for
Life. The Relay for Life is an event held yearly in
The Relay
lasts all throughout the evening and on until the next morning. Holly Hill has
two "teams" for the Relay: The Youth Team, and the Adult Team. The
members on each team voluntarily (in shifts of one hour) walk around the track
to show support for the cause.
The evening
climaxes with the lighting of the "luminary candles", at
approximately midnight. At this time, the lights on the track are turned off,
and the luminary candles are lit for a truly engaging moment. The small
luminary candle bags line the track on the inside and have the names of both
survivors and victims of cancer written on them in memorial.
Everyone
from the church is encouraged to attend up until the lighting of the luminary candles
(or even all night if you wish!). There will be fine fellowship, cooking out,
and other activities to attend.
