MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR EDITH SCHAEFFER, 1914-2013
Since the funeral and burial services for Edith Schaeffer have been held in Switzerland and Minnesota, very far from the Northeast of the United States, the workers at the Southborough branch of L’Abri will hold a memorial service for her on May 18, 2013 at 3:00. The service will be held at 49 Lynbrook Road, Southborough, Massachusetts, 01772.
As the co-founder of L’Abri, her life has been of immense importance to all of us in the work L’Abri and also to many thousands of others throughout the world. We mourn her loss but also want to have the occasion to celebrate her life and to express our gratitude to God for her. Please join us if you can, whether you knew her personally or not.
