We hold Meeting in our homes, with up to a dozen in attendance. We enjoy the fellowship that our worship group offers.<br /><br />We build internal community by sending out a weekly "Friendly Update" e-mail, by holding occasional potlucks in connection with worship, and by going out to lunch occasionally after meeting. Several of us travel together to Winter Retreat or to Yearly.<br /><br />We participate in the worship and business of our parent Urbana-Champaign Meeting to the extent that we can. In the past, Urbana-Champaign guided a weekend session for us on Forgiveness. We are currently working on end-of-life issues, using the Five Wishes materials to guide our conversations and planning.<br /><br />Our community service includes preparing and serving a monthly meal at a homeless shelter, which we have done for the past decade, and participating twice a year in local Interfaith programs.<br /><br />We conduct some outreach for new members. We run a regular contact calendar listing in the local weekly newspaper and we are listed in wider Quaker resources, including Friends Journal. We maintain a library of Quaker materials for our group and for seekers. Please feel free to contact us at (217) 416-1305 to attend a Meeting for worship on Sundays at 10:30.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5984437968625241598-7659861643543007797?l=friendsofspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Peg Krugerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14437496160442729189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984437968625241598.post-23256178027082404242009-06-19T19:54:00.000-07:002009-06-19T20:00:31.867-07:00Welcome all to the new Blog.<br />We all can share in the expanded potential it affords us.
