Ministry and Counsel Deepening Worship Survey

During this past year Ministry and Counsel has held the centrality of our Meeting’s worship to be a priority. We would like to continue this emphasis on into the new year with a January 4-6 retreat/workshop led by Christopher Sammond. Christopher introduces the workshop as follows:

Enlightenment is an accident. Practice makes us accident prone. ~ Zen Proverb

Worship is at the heart of our practice as Friends. And we mostly leave each other to find our own way in this crucial part of our lives. This need not be the case. While Spirit-filled worship is something we can’t make happen, there are practical skills we can learn which will enhance our ability to enter into deep, transformative worship. This retreat will focus on practices which can make us more ready to receive that blessed gift of powerful worship which can nurture, heal, and transform us and our lives; and draw us closer together as a community.

The proposed retreat would cover one full day, a half-day session, and possibly another session after worship on Sunday.

If you were to attend this retreat, would you prefer to restrict it to OCMM members and attenders, or open it to other Meetings in our region? *
