Affiliated Organizations Events

This fall FGC’s Ministry on Racism Program is sponsoring an opportunity for Friends of Color and their families to come together to build an rich multigenerational community through Mutual support and sharing, Worship, exploring our Faith, sharing what brought us to Friends and Identifying ways to support each other. Past retreats provided the space for Friends to come together and explore our gifts and challenges, do work intergenerationally and in affinity groups, and explore the surrounding community. We look forward to another opportunity to share in deep worship with each other this year. This gathering is for Friends of Color and their immediate family members. Individuals of European descent are welcome to join us, provided they are attending with a family member who is a person of color. We will meet from Friday, October 31 at 4 pm until Sunday, November 2 at 1 pm at Mountain View Friends Meeting, 2280 S Columbine St, Denver, CO 80210. Overnight accommodations will not be provided. In an effort to keep costs down, we will be preparing meals on-site, together. All participants will be assigned to assist with cooking meals. If you have questions about this opportunity, Vanessa Julye will be happy to assist you. Email: ministryonracism@fgcquaker.org.

FWC Board member, Rich Weidner, will lead this program that will introduce you to the ancient practice of Qi Gong and allow you to experience first-hand the inner opening and centering that this practice provides. You do not need any prior experience with Qi Gong to participate but should have reasonably good physical mobility to get maximum benefit from this program which will involve movement. We’ll go from 10 AM to 2 PM. You are requested to RSVP to Sheila (snbach@earthlink.net) for the program and your meal if you would like to sample her excellent cooking.
