It’s weed season and that means it’s time for Meetings for Weeding! We will hold our first weeding event on May 31 from 9-11. The RFM garden team will be there and we’d love to have you join us. It’s a great way to meet people and get out your frustrations on pesky weeds.
The Adult Spiritual Education Committee will host a one-hour Reading Between the Lines (Bible Workbench)—through Zoom— on June 1, starting at 9 am. We will discuss Acts 16: 16-34: gifts that are honored; gifts that are being distorted or used to make money for others (or to serve their egos); awkwardness in wanting to halt these behaviors when we see them; examining our motives; disentanglement, freedom, hope, and help when we have handled something badly. The facilitator will send the Zoom link through the Newslist a few days before our conversation.
On Sunday, May 25th at Kensington - There will be Nursery care and an all ages group here at the Meeting house for those families not planning to attend the Spring Retreat at The Clearing.
Detailed information regarding activities at Spring Retreat are in the May email to parents and caregivers. Sunday morning, at the Clearing, following 15 minutes of intergenerational silent worship, children will split into two age groups. RE has planned activities planned for Saturday morning and the retreat committee has intergenerational activities planned for Saturday afternoon.
We are grateful to share this space and find joy, healing, and worship for whatever amount of time you can. As always, thank you to everyone who has signed up to help both with the Spring Retreat & the children’s programming there. It truly is a community effort.
