Sunday, September 13th: “The Children of the World” with Jill Morin
As children head back to school, I know all of us are holding them close in our thoughts and hearts—hoping for a year filled with learning, friendship, safety, and joy.
This Sunday, we will have the opportunity to hear from Jill Morin, who has been an ML (Multilingual Learner/ESL) teacher for thirty years. Jill has worked at both UNC Charlotte and Central Piedmont Community College and currently teaches high school students with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
Over the years, Jill has had the privilege of meeting people from all over the world and working with immigrant and refugee students—an experience that she says has particularly enriched her life. ​
Jill shares: “Although I am not a religious person, I feel in some way ‘called’ to do this work. I try to advocate for my students and for their families and communities in any way that I can. Most importantly, I try to be a consistent and loving adult presence in my students’ lives. I’m not an expert in immigration matters, but I’m happy to share my experiences and insights with you.”
​
At Wedgewood, we know that education, compassion, and standing beside our neighbors are all part of building a more just and welcoming community.
​
We warmly welcome Jill Morin to Wedgewood and look forward to hearing her stories and insights this Sunday.

Wedgewood's Social Justice Book Club Resumes This September!
After a summer break, we're excited to announce that the Social Justice Book Club will be meeting again September 10 at 7PM. We will have our final discussion on Daughter of the Boycott that we finished over the summer.
​
Our next read is Kimberle Williams Crenshaw's memoir, Backtalker, a New York Times Best Seller. Be sure to order your copy now, so you're ready to join us for this inspiring and thought-provoking book.
​
"Backtalker charts Crenshaw’s extraordinary journey from precocious child to renowned public intellectual. . . . A rousing call to see the story of the future as one in which ‘the spirit of freedom was nurtured by talking back.’”– Colin Grant, The New York Times
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
