Meetings Converge for Quarterly Meeting, April 19
April 19, 2015 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Today is our opportunity to Gather as Friends, who even in our differences seek the same Spirit. The topic for this gathering is:
Living into Friends’ Testimonies — how a small group of Quakers made a big difference recently, and how we can do the same.
West Grove MM invites Friends from throughout the Quarter to join them for Worship at 10 am, followed by a discussion on Living our Friends’ Testimonies, led by Gail Newbold. Gail is one of the founders of EQAT (Earth Quaker Action Team), a small group of Friends who felt led to respond to uphold the testimony on stewardship of the environment, and channeled their leading through social activism that has produced real results. We gather to celebrate this success, as well as learn ways – small and large – we can also “walk the walk”, living our testimonies as Friends.
A simple meal of soup will be provided, but Friends are invited (and encouraged!) to bring a side or dessert to share.
The Children’s Program will begin with Worship and end when lunch is served.
Meeting for Worship with attention to Western Quarter’s business will follow lunch, at 1 pm.
