The 39th Annual
Jane Cooper Fall
Lights of Love Celebration
was held on Wednesday, December 3, 2025
First United Methodist Church in Rochester, NH
We were saddened to learn about the passing of Dr. Bob Rubino on March 31, 2026. He had been a very special part of Lights of Love since it began in 1986, directing the men’s choral group. Our thanks to Dr. Bob for bringing such beautiful music to this wonderful holiday tradition.
We will miss him dearly.
About Lights of Love
Jane Cooper Fall founded Lights of Love in 1986 as a community event to pay tribute to the people who have had a special impact in our lives. This event is a way to honor the memory of loved ones who have passed or celebrate those still with us. Held at the First United Methodist Church in Rochester, we had music by the church choir and the handbell ringers, sing-along songs, a tribute to special community members, and a comforting space for remembrance and celebration with a “lighting of the lights.”
For anyone unable to attend the event was recorded and can be viewed below. It will be available throughout the holiday season.
Special thanks to the First United Methodist Church for sharing their beautiful church with us and for their help with this wonderful community event!
