FGC Gathering for Friends of Color

Friday, October 31, 2014Sunday, November 2, 2014
Mountain View Friends Meeting (Denver, CO)

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.
