In Sympathy: Mrs. June Porter
Mrs. June Porter, surviving spouse of the late Rev. John Porter of the Northern Illinois Conference, passed away on Dec. 4, 2025.
Thursday, March 5, 2020
Facilitated by Rev. Jay Wittmeyer and Rev. Richard Blackburn of the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, we will engage in a thoughtful process of dialogue and listening. Promising to be both informational and formational, this event will not have winners or losers, nor seek to find solutions. Come prepared to share your understanding of what it means for you, as a leader, to be a non-anxious presence in the midst of the United Methodist storm.
Cost: $10 online / $15 walk-in
Deadline extended: please register by March 1.
Registration is closed. Walk-ins welcome.
