New Bethany teamed up with ArtsQuest to present Poppies of Remembrance, Lanterns of Hope to honor those affected by COVID-19. On August 13, 2021, lit lanterns commemorated lives touched by the pandemic. Lanterns can be dedicated to a loved one lost, those still struggling with the virus’ effects, or a hero fighting the pandemic on the front lines.

Watch the story here.
