Stahlke Adoption

Times Have Changed

The preschoolers at our church attend chapel services once a week. The girl chosen as line leader took my hand as we walked to the sacristy to collect the candle lighter. Then she and I lit the candles to mark the beginning of the service.

In my day, only boys served as acolytes. The first time I ever lit candles in church was at the initial chapel service I conducted a few years ago. Now every week, I am photographed with the preschool line leader as we light candles together.
