| Morgon’s Memorial Service |
| An invitation from Jessica TurnerMorgon’s service is at Hilltop Montessori School on Sat. Jan 3rd at 1pm. (Snow date is Sunday at 1pm. If there is a snow storm, it will be posted on Hilltop’s calendar on their website.) It is a Quaker Memorial service and if a Friend had a connection with Morgon, they are welcome. We do not need help with the service per se, but would appreciate these two forms of support from people who are attending:1. If a person at the service is talking for an extended period of time, we would appreciate the Quakers among us to elder that person and help them understand that their message has gone on too long.2. A request to bring a simple snack that does not need to be heated or chilled. After the Meeting, there will be an opportunity for folks to chat and have light refreshments. |
