You are invited to join a read aloud book group meeting on Zoom on first and third Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30pm. On November 18, we plan to read and discuss “Advices and Queries on Corporate Discernment” from Interim Faith and Practice 2014, NEYM except where noted, which are part of the handout from the Blue Sky Group on Community Agreements. You are welcome to join as a reader or listener. Our meeting will include time for worship and discussion.

No need to RSVP though we would like to know if you plan to come. Drop-ins are welcome.

As a group we are in the process of becoming a read aloud and discussion “small group” about the practice of eldering. You are welcome to join us as we discern our future meeting times and selections.

“I have come to understand the process of eldering as discernment of the spiritual condition of each of the members of the faith community as revealed by their vocal ministry and other signs. An elder’s goal is not the correction of a person’s behavior but an improvement of their spiritual direction and health.” —Lloyd Lee Wilson, Friendship Friends Meeting,Greensboro, North Carolina, Memoir, 235
