As Carlie Burdett lay on her deathbed, she couldn’t stop talking enthusiastically about the visions and things she was experiencing. Her daughter Dorie witnessed and took note of everything she was saying, in keeping with her request that her end-of-life story be told. Join us on Sunday, June 1st, to hear Dorie speak about all that her mom shared, as well as talk about her unexpected spiritual journey. Arrive early for light refreshments and stay for conversation with Dorie.
