NewEngland

A one-day retreat with New England Friends
Seeking to Experience God's Power at Work Among Us

through
Bible Study
Unprogrammed Worship

Nurturing God's gifts in each other

      ·  Do you long for deep spiritual worship with other Friends - like early Friends wrote about? 

      ·  Do you want to have time & space to listen to the promptings of the Spirit in community with other Friends? 
· 
Have you enjoyed the opportunity to join in "worship sharing in the name of Jesus" at YM sessions? 
· 
Would you like the opportunity to develop & deepen spiritual connections with other New England Friends & enjoy a time of fellowship with them?

      ·  Over the past 350 years, Friends have developed unique ways of seeking & following God's voice in community. 
· 
We have used many words to describe the way we feel God working in our hearts.  Some of us refer to the Light Within, the Inner Light, the Light of Christ,  the Inward Christ...
·  
Some of us seek to follow Jesus. Many of us have felt the transforming power of the Holy Spirit!
·  
We will try to create a space where we can encourage this type of deep spiritual connection and experience to happen among us.

Sing and rejoice, ye children of the day and of the light; for the Lord is at work in this thick night of darkness that may be felt. And truth doth flourish as the rose, and the lilies do grow among the thorns, and the plants atop of the hills, and upon them the lambs do skip and play. And never heed the tempests nor the storms, floods nor rains, for the seed Christ is over all, and doth reign. And so be of good faith and valiant for the truth: for the truth can live in the jails.                                                                                                                       George Fox, Epistle 227
