SUMMARY:July 2016 Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Reaching Out and Reaching In for the Light in times of Darkness: Spiritual Listening\nHow do we respond to Friends in need?\nAs individuals?\nAs a Meeting? \nHow many of us  expect an honest answer when we ask “How are you?” How  many would be prepared for an honest answer that wasn’t “fine”? In the Religious Society of Friends we rely on each other for pastoral care. This July QM program will allow us to better understand what that means\, and lead us to explore ways in which we become stronger care-communities\, and how we can “listen each other into wholeness.”  Worship and breaks will be integrated into the adult program; a children’s program will run concurrently\, and we will all gather for lunch (provided by our hosts). \nSchedule:\n9:00 am check in\n9:15-10:30 am Program part 1\n10:30-11:30 Worship & queries\n11:30 – 12:30 Program part 2 & singing\n12:30-1:15 pm Lunch (provided!!)\n1:15-2:30 Meeting for Business \nChildren ages K-8 will join the Quarter’s new Youth Activities Coordinator\, Christian Garber\, for a morning full of fun activities.

Baltimore Pike) \nWe Think We’re Separate — When we think about all the things we don’t want to be associated with\, whether that is disease or child abuse or war\, we think that we are separate. We are afraid of being connected. We construct walls in our minds and our hearts to convince ourselves that it’s not us\, it’s not our problem\, that we are separate\, up until the day we can no longer pretend\, until we find out it is us. “They” are us. Humans try to pretend it’s not us\, that we’re separate. But God\, Jesus\, Quakers—all teach us that we are not separate. \nLunch* and fellowship will follow.  \n*Registration required for lunch — call 610-444-1012\, or Email: coordinator@westernquarterquakers.org \n\n\n\nAdult Program:\n9:00 am   Registration with coffee & tea\n9:15 am    Centering Worship & Introduction\n9:30 am   Program: “We Think We are Separate”\n11:00 am  7th Query Responses & Worship\n12 Noon    Lunch (Registration Required)\n1:00 pm    Meeting for Business\nChildren’s Program:\n9:15 am   All gather for centering Worship\n9:30 am     Children program activities begin\n10:45 am   Children & FDS teachers go swimming in Kendal’s indoor pool (lifeguard present)\n12 Noon     Children join adults for lunch\n\n\n\nHere is a short bio of Robin Mohr:\nRobin Mohr has served as Executive Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation Section of the Americas since 2011.
