I am stopping adding people for tonight. I have got as far as "Hare Today". I will continue adding tomorrow.
I can easily use a different symbol for meets if people want them on the same map. Please suggest a simple gif.
People as far as I got through the thread who have not posted enough for me to place them are:
Sabine
Ags
Moo
Quoleth - All Saints turns up many churches a broad place name would be better.
Padre Joshua
Kingsfold - although happy just to use Glasgow
Olivia G
and Margaret.
Happy to be very broad in placement e.g. Caty M is on Devon.

Can I suggest a simple little boat, or maybe a pint glass for a shipmeet, or a cross if it was a prayer meet?

I like Banner Lady's suggestion of a little boat if we could find such.
I lit a virtual candle here in Blacksburg 37.2°N80.4°W.
I attended a meet with Campbellite in Roanoke 37.3°N79.9°W.

Thanks - it's quite beautiful seeing all those bobbing votives representing real candles all over the world.

Thank you, Jengie Jon. It is beautiful and somehow comforting, a representation of the Ship community at its best.

Map largely up to date now. Funeral changed to a small gator in a black square. Tried beer smiley for a meet but it is too big. At present have part of ship boat, not really happy with that (too indistinct at an appropriate size). Suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the mapping ecu & jengie; lovely work - gives me a warm glow every time I look at it and think of the caring thoughts and prayers surrounding the gator pic. Nice to remember also that the gator is now surrounding us with her prayers.

Jengie - thank you for the map.
There was no chance of forgetting my promise to pray on Sunday - the last hymn was Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer. A struggle, following the Cafe service, and yet when put together with references to life in Christ from the rest of the RL service, a good way in to praying for Erin's family and you all.

My church doesn't do candles but I was praying for Erin and her family at St Mary Magdalene, Ashton-on-Mersey in Greater Manchester (aka St Valentine-on-the-Barmcake) and have lit a virtual candle on the site.
