Chioma Malkin Memorial Service (event 1 of 3)

Chioma Malkin Memorial Service (1st of 3 memorial events)

Please join us in honoring the life of Chioma Malkin at the first of three unique memorial events. This first memorial will be held at Grace Chapel @ Scottsdale Bible Church. The event will be in-person, but also live-streamed for any who cannot make it in person (see below for live-streaming link).

• 1:30-3:30 pm — Gathering time where friends & family can visit each other in the courtyard outside the chapel
• 2:30-3:10 pm — View Chioma's body in the casket (optional). From 3:10-3:20 pm, all guests will be asked to temporarily step out of the chapel so Chioma's family can close the casket privately.
• 3:20 pm — Doors re-open for guests
• 3:30-4:30 pm — MEMORIAL SERVICE (live worship music, speeches, memories video, & more)
• 4:30-6:30 pm — Reception in chapel courtyard (light refreshments provided)

Dress code: Whatever helps you mourn and also celebrate Chioma's life is welcome—whether you prefer to wear customary all black or vibrant colors. Whatever you choose, please dress modestly and respectfully.

If you would like to give a gift, instead of flowers, please consider donating towards end-of-life and childcare expenses for the family. You can give a tax-deductible gift through GiveTaxFree.
