New Garden Meeting,  Greensboro,  NC

****************************************

The principal features of our weekend will be:

Fellowship and Fun!  As usual, the weekend will be structured  around multiple opportunities to get acquainted with other Friends from around the region and to experience the well grounded fun that comes with sharing and learning new things.   We will start off on Friday evening with a Quaker game show hosted by Fancy Gap meeting.  Lots of laughter for all generations.  The last segment of this show will be hosted by Joe and Terry Graedon as co -clerks of the upcoming FGC Gathering at Western Carolina this July.

Deepening and Exploring.   The experiential adult program will be led by Mary Kay Glazer in sessions on Saturday morning and afternoon.  The personal exploration will be“Who Are You?  Who Am I? -Telling Our Spiritual Stories”. As Friends we have long known that learning to “…walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God…” takes practice.  This program presented Mary Kay is a wonderful opportunity to go to the experiential fundamentals of our faith.

Worship Opportunities.  Friends are invited to  meet for worship both on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday morning.  Additionally, PFF Friends are also invited to share in the regular New Garden semi-programmed meeting for worship on Sunday morning.

Full Programs for Children and Youth.  PFF Friends are busy at work organizing programs for children and youth of all ages.  Bring the kids!

Great Food.  Care has been taken to provide Friends with delicious and wholesome meals and snacks for the weekend.  Omnivors, vegetarians, and vegans will all enjoy the fare.

Learning.  Presentations and discussion groups will be available during the weekend.  Raleigh Meeting is convening a session on Peace committees.  Quaker House of Fayetteville will conduct a presentation. And…we will have another round of cemetery exploration which proved so popular last year.  Our  Quaker ancestors are very  near…..

 Registration Form.  A registration form for attendance is available here in pdf form on the PFF website. A complete 4 page program (PDF) will be available soon.
