I’m writing to ask you to share information about an innovative project that could be of help to your members and attenders, especially those with leadings and/or ministries.
Viv Hawkins, member of Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, made a presentation to PQM’s recent business meeting about ReleasingMinistry.org. The project is designed to help individual ministries be more widely known among Friends and to create a way for people to support these ministries in various ways including financial, home hospitality, and prayers. A flyer more fully describing the project is attached below.
Those present at the Philadelphia Quarter September 26 2014 Meeting for Business at Unity Meeting approved asking member meetings to:
1. Help members and attenders learn more about ReleasingMinistries.org via any one or more of the following:
* Attached/accompanying 2-page flyer on the project
2. Report back to PQM's January 25, 2015 meeting for business whether your meeting can unite in supporting this endeavor conceptually and encouraging others to do so.
3. Consider supporting ReleasingMinistry.org through prayer or start-up funding. Tax-deductible contributions designated for LifeCalls Ministry can be sent to CPMM, 1515 Cherry St, Philadelphia, PA 19102. (Please specify LifeCalls: ReleasingMinistry.org in the memo line).
The Quarter minuted its gratitude to CPMM for the care it provides to this project, including an on-going spiritual accountability group to ensure faithfulness and fiscal stewardship. We also affirmed the potential for this project to help nurture Quakerism and the wider world.
Thank you for whatever you do to help share the good news of this project! Have questions? Please contact me (267-971-6800 or hollisterknowlton@gmail.com) or Viv (Friendviv@gmail.com).
