Sunday, March 1 with Carry-In Luncheon after Meeting for Worship
(Please bring a dish to share. Since this carry-in luncheon was planned to coincide with The Story of University Friends discussion, our Monthly Meeting for Business on March 8th will not include a luncheon.)
“Don’t forget anything of what you’ve seen. Don’t let your heart wander off. Stay vigilant as long as you live. Teach what you’ve seen and heard to your children and grandchildren.”
(Deut. 4:9, The Message)
Sunday at the rise of worship we will gather to address some aspects of the three big questions of the transition process: Who are we? Who are our neighbors? What is God calling us to be and do? More specifically, we will give attention to our heritage and denominational connections.
During the discussion, we will look at the tenure of pastors and average attendance in our history, thinking about gifts and challenges in our past. What lessons might we learn?
We will also talk about our connections to Kansas Yearly Meeting (now Evangelical Friends Church—Mid-America) and Nebraska (now Great Plains) Yearly Meeting. What is our place among Quakers in the United States?
We will also provide time for sharing your personal stories. When did you begin attending University Friends? What drew you to this church? What do you remember about that time?
Childcare will be provided.
