My F/friend Raye Hodgson is taking a train from Connecticut to South Jersey next week for a visit, and locals and would-be visitors are invited to my house for some worship! Raye’s involved with Ohio Conservative and New England Friends and seems to be doing a cool sustainable agriculture project these days (which I didn’t know except for Google!)
It’s next Thursday, the 19th at 7:30pm in Hammonton. If you want to join but don’t have my address just send me an email and I’ll provide details. There’s also a Facebook event listing for this. If enough people are interested we can have more occasional Conservative/Convergent/Emergent Quakerly worship in this part of South Jersey! If you can’t make it but are intrigued by the idea, let me know and I’ll keep you in the loop.
UPDATE: The worship went well, about half a dozen people showed up. If you want to be alerted to any follow-up worship opportunities in the Hammonton area send me an email and I’ll add you to my list.
Gosh — I wonder what ‘real’ worship looks like, feels like. Thanks for having an out of Mtg. house Mtg.
Oh come on, Barb, certainly we’ve both seen some real worship in actual Quaker meetinghouses! But Raye’s only here that night. I would like to see Friends start being Friends for more than that hour a week on Sunday morning. Sometimes it’s so rote, a ritual we go through. Let’s liven up some of the other 167 hours, why don’t we?
“I dont want to walk and talk about Jesus.….I just want to see his face…” Rolling Stones, Exile on Main St. If we truly worship, we fellowship with God. If we do that, we are transformed, and the 167 hours would take care of themselves.
