Memorial to the Lost – at Wilmington Friends
December 28, 2014 @ 11:30 am - January 11, 2015 @ 12:00 pm
MEMORIAL TO THE LOST
at 4th and West Streets, Wilmington DE
Wilmington Friends and Pacem in Terris will host a memorial on our side yard from December 28th to January 11th.
It will commemorate the 38 individuals who have been killed by gun violence in our own community since the mass killing in Sandy Hook in 2012. There will be 38 empty t-shirts displayed on the lawn. The names, ages, and date killed are written on each t-shirt. They will be standing in silent witness to the tragedy of gun violence in our neighborhood. We want the community to know that we have not forgotten the deaths of these individuals and that we will seek meaningful ways to establish a culture of peace in Wilmington.
We will be erecting the memorial on Dec. 27th at 10:00 am and need all willing volunteers to help. The dedication will be held on Dec 28th at 11:30 after worship.
Please contact Mary Ellen Green (302-292- 1793) if you would like to volunteer.
