You are cordially encouraged to join our lively crew for a workday at The Clearing on Saturday, April 4 from 9 AM until as long as you want to stay.

You may let either Joe Ball (973-309-4415) or Al Best (804-698-9624) know if you can make it.
Please join us to reflect on the life of friend, Chris Maxwell, with a memorial meeting for worship on Saturday, April 4 at 11 am.

Friends of all ages are invited to our Spring Retreat on May 22-24 at The Clearing. Come for the whole weekend or just part of it! Camping and rustic indoor accommodations are available, and meals will be provided with a variety of dietary needs and preferences in mind. Learn more about The Clearing here: https://staging.richmondfriends.org/theclearing/
This year’s theme is “Opening to Joy.” The retreat will be interactive and will spring from the ideas and gifts of our community—so you can look forward to deep conversations, creative experiences, and plenty of play. And you won’t want to miss the epic talent show hosted by the Willow Working Group!
This is an intergenerational gathering, and families and children are warmly welcome. We hope to fan the flames of community connection as we share what brings us joy—whether through conversation, artmaking, or time together outdoors.
More details coming soon; please stay tuned. Please help us plan for your participation and register early, by Sunday, May 17! This online form makes it easy to register: https://bit.ly/RFMRetreat2026 . Also, please note, there is NO COST to attend Spring Retreat.
