Ecumen Lights of Honor Community Celebrations Honor, Remember, Celebrate
Honor lights are being lit across Minnesota as Ecumen communities host their annual "Lights of Honor" celebrations.
Lights of Honor is a fundraiser held at each Ecumen community that allows individuals to…
Honor and recognize someone whose life impacts yours.
Remember a loved one who has passed away.
Celebrate outstanding care provided by a staff member.
Ecumen communities sell lanterns and have a special Lights of Honor event where community members, donors, residents and others come to celebrate. Since 2012, when it started, Lights of Honor has raised almost $80,000.
The funds go directly to the Ecumen communities where they are raised, and they are used for special projects or other needs. Over the years, Lights of Honor funds have been used in a wide range of ways including: funding resident activities and interactive games, Meals on Wheels, handicap accessible doors, remodeling projects, fitness equipment, furniture, TVs, iPads, iPods, computers and memory care programming.

Ecumen Home Office Celebrates Lights of Honor
Ecumen Home Office staff and Ecumen Board of Trustees members celebrated Lights of Honor October 23, 2013.
The Rev. Kris Linner, a Lutheran pastor and Ecumen board member, gave the invocation and led the group in a liturgy of celebration. The celebration then moved outside where biodegradable balloons were released in remembrance of lost loved ones. Then celebrants enjoyed cupcakes and cider in the Shoreview Home Office lobby where the Honor Lights were displayed, along with pictures of loved ones.
Lights of Honor is a yearly fundraising event held at Ecumen sites across the state. Participants sponsor Honor Lights to honor, remember and celebrate loved ones, friends and caregivers. Proceeds go directly to local Ecumen communities.
