Instructions
Read Gabbreell James’ journey from visitor to active and valued member of Green Street Meeting, in her article There is Hope:
I am still supported by my meeting and empowered by the members’ trust and faith in me. I have elders that I go to with questions and concerns. I have friends that I love. I have a true spiritual home, and my children know the love that I felt as a child. Each First Day I seek the Light in a loving meetinghouse with some of the best f/Friends that I have ever known.
