Remembering Ted Vellenga

Every New Year's Eve service, we at the First Christian Reformed Church of Orillia, Ontario, Canada take a moment to reflect on the lives of those who have joined us, and those who have left us.

We lit two candles for Ted: a green one, for when he joined us, and a gold one, to acknowledge his passing.

(Blue candles = new members by birth; green candles = new members who transferred-in; red candles = (former) members who left by way of resignations and transfer-out; white candle = new member by profession of faith).

The other gold candle was for Rudy Huften, a charter member who passed away on December 12.
