Gloria McClanen Memorial Service, Peter Storey at Seekers, Dayspring Retreat Schedule

_{Don and Gloria McClanen}

The services in memory of Gloria McClanen will take place Sunday, November 6, at Dayspring. The Service of Commendation will begin at 3pm at the Lake of the Saints, where the same service for husband Don took place in 2016. The reason for scheduling it before the memorial service is that November 6 is the first day of Eastern Standard Time, with clocks turned back an hour. We do not want to hold it in the dark after the memorial service. The service should run fifteen to twenty minutes.

If you wish to attend, park at the farmhouse lot or in the grass north of the lot and walk down from there. Allow fifteen to twenty minutes to get to the site of the service. If you need to go down by car instead of foot, drive down through the same path walkers will be using and park in the field near the site of the service.

The memorial service is scheduled to begin at 4pm in the Wellspring Center. Park in the lot across from the Center or, if the lot is full, in the grass alongside the road to Wellspring. Be sure to have a mask with you and put it on before entering the Center.

A reception follows the service. Please continue to wear masks unless eating or drinking. Weather permitting, any who are uncomfortable with this may take their refreshments outside. Thank you.

Sat., November 12, 2022 – 5:30pm
