Tony Campolo's Celebration of Life Service 1-25-2025

Описание: On Saturday, January 25, 2025, Tony's family, friends, Campolo Fellows, and supporters gathered to celebrate his remarkable life and legacy. The service includes a slideshow of Tony's life and friendships, special music from Eastern University's Dr. Steven Ford and the Angels of Harmony Gospel Choir and Mark Lowry, eulogies from Eastern alumnus Bryan Stevenson and Steve Chalke, an invocation and scripture readings from Eastern alumni Saleem Ghubril, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Wendy Ryan, Jodina Hicks, and Shane Claiborne, video reflections, and personal remembrances from friends and the family. We hope the service is as meaningful and memorable for you as it was for the Campolo family and all of us!
