You are not alone! Many Quakers have trouble or lack confidence articulating about Quakerism. In this experiential workshop we will generate ideas and practice answering real questions like, “What do Quakers believe?’ and “You say you have no dogmas and creeds,so can you believe anything you like?” In the second part of the workshop, we will hear from our new RFM Visibility Coordinators. What could more outreach look like for our beloved community?
Sponsored by both the Ad Hoc Working Group on Welcoming and Growing Our Meeting and the Visibility Coordinators. Everyone is invited, newcomers and oldtimers. The more variety of viewpoints we have, the more valuable and interesting this workshop will be.

The Ad Hoc Working Group on Welcoming and Growing our Meeting asks Friends to volunteer to serve coffee at rise of Meeting on Sundays through April, unless there is a pot-luck or an event scheduled after Meeting for Worship. A sign-up sheet is posted in the hallway near the side entrance.
It is hoped Friends will stay for coffee and conversation, and get to know newcomers and visitors.
This year, as in past years, Baltimore Yearly Meeting is asking each monthly meeting to write a Spiritual State of the Society report.
The queries below are from BYM and are offered to help us reflect on our experiences as a faith community.
Meeting member and attenders are invited to gather on 2nd Month/February 18 to reflect on these queries through worship sharing. We welcome every voice.
The Ad Hoc Working Group on Welcoming and Growing Our Meeting is offering a workshop called, “The Quaker Practice of Spiritual Hospitality: Nurturing a Welcoming Meeting”. This workshop invites all of us to consider how welcoming is rooted in Quaker spirituality. It’s something that stretches our hearts, whether we’re introverts or extraverts. During the workshop we will share how we have felt welcomed in our lives and what kept us coming back to Meeting. We’ll brainstorm on how Richmond Friends Meeting can be more welcoming to all. We want everybody to come to this, old timers as well as new attenders. Let’s hear from the whole range of perspectives!! Contact Monica Shaw if you have questions, monicashaw@dmshaw.com.
This happens Sunday, February 12 at 9:30am in the Community Room.
