A Delaware native killed in a terrorist bombing in Uganda is being memorialized in his boyhood church in Wilmington.

A spokeswoman said Thursday that Bethel Baptist Church is preparing for an overflow crowd of 800 at Nathan Henn's memorial service Saturday morning.

The 25-year-old humanitarian aid worker was among 76 people killed July 11 in a pair of terrorist bombings in the Ugandan capital of Kampala.

Henn grew up in Wilmington and attended the University of Delaware before joining Invisible Children, a non-profit that

educates children in northern Uganda affected by war.

His parents now live in Raleigh, N.C.
