Fall and Spring Retreats for Friends of Color

Pause
2019 Spring Retreat for Friends of Color in Ben Lomond, CA.
2017 Fall Retreat for Friends of Color in Stony Point, NY.

Each year, FGC’s Ministry on Racism Program sponsors opportunities in the Spring and Fall for Friends of Color and their families to come together to build multigenerational community through:

  • Mutual support and sharing
  • Worship
  • Exploring our Faith
  • Sharing what brought us to Friends
  • Identifying ways to support each other

Previous retreats have been held in upstate New York, the Philadelphia area, Washington DC, Chicago, and California. The 2020 in-person Spring and Fall retreats have been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus outbreak.
