FUM North American Ministries has announced a program entitled “Stoking the Fire” for those who are spiritually on fire, smoldering embers ready to burst into flame, discerning risky new steps of faithfulness, desiring deeper worship, or yearning to connect with others. In all of our Yearly Meetings, there are individual Friends who are on fire. They may be bold and prophetic and fiery. Or they may be quietly longing for deep spiritual intimacy with Christ and others. Perhaps they feel isolated. Perhaps their Meetings don’t always know what to do with them. Perhaps they yearn to gather with others who are in that condition, who also feel the intensity of the Holy Spirit burning in them. On Pentecost weekend — May 22-25, 2015 — we invite Friends to gather in Cincinnati, Ohio for a retreat experience entitled Stoking the Fire. A lightly-scheduled program of extended worship, prayer, plenary speakers, home groups, topical workshops and attention to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Full registration information is on the FUM website. (www.fum.org/stoking-the-fire-2015)
