WEDDING SHOWER & BBQ for CHARLIE & GRAHAM!
We are thrilled to celebrate this international couple at our post-church BBQ this Sunday, May 7! Charlie Merritt served for years as a senior high volunteer and then joined our church staff before moving to the UK to receive her MA in theology. While there, she met Graham Meiklejohn, a theology professor in Glasgow, Scotland and PhD student. Some of their favorite shared activities are: hiking (preferably with a dog), trying to cook Chinese food, playing Bananagrams in coffee shops, and watching marathons of The West Wing. Charlie will be moving to Scotland before the wedding and to make this trans-Atlantic move easier, you can either:
contribute online to their honeymoon/ moving fund: www.zola.com/registry/charlieandgraham
purchase directly from their Amazon UK registry and select option to ship directly to Graham Meiklejohn: //amzn.eu/hCYpmzJ
