Upcoming Meeting Events

Sunday, Sept 19 – 9:45a Forum Topic: Ministry and Counsel: What is our source of Joy. As humans, our brains are "wired" to notice problems, or work to fix problems, or keep track of concerns. We invite Friends to sink into experiencing and noticing Joy as a way of spiritual deepening. In preparation for this conversation, please consider these queries:

1. Do you differentiate between happiness and joy? 2. When in your life have you been surprised by an experience of joy? 3. What in your life brings you joy? 4. What is the source of your joy? 5. How often are other people involved in your joy.

October 3, 2021 - 9:45am: Farley Center Fall Retreat: The Farley Center is holding their annual Fall Festival from 10:30-2:30pm. Pick apples, wash apples, slice apples and press the apples in the 180 year old cider press! Come join us on a tour of the Natural Path Sanctuary, farm or bees. Listen to music and have a great time! And more!
