Elizabeth Schindler. She reflected on her work as a preschool chaplain during leave, and the way children often encounter bible stories familiar to us without the cynicism we often have. \u201cThe children receive the stories just as they are \u2026 They hear the stories with openness, wonder, and awe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/pnwumc.org\/ac2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/candle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2316\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pnwumc.org\/pnwac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/candle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pnwumc.org\/pnwac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/candle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pnwumc.org\/pnwac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/candle-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pnwumc.org\/pnwac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/candle-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Candles are lit as the name of each saint is lifted up at the Memorial Service ay PNWAC25. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Act of Remembrance formed the heart of the service, as names of the deceased were solemnly read aloud, and candles were lit.
