2016 FGC Gathering Advance Programs

by | Mar 30, 2016 | Friends General Conference

The Advance Programs Are Here! What is the Gathering? The purpose of the Gathering is: “to help Friends know and deepen their relationship with the Spirit and with each other, to strengthen their identification as Friends among other Friends, and to testify to the continued presence of Friends as a vital and unique faith community.” The Gathering brings together Quakers of all ages from all over North America and around the world, to a place where we can interact with one another via workshops, worship, study, fellowship, and recreation. In safe community we can be challenged and comforted, inspired and surprised.
We eagerly look forward to welcoming you—in person—at the College of St. Benedict, St. Joseph, Minnesota, July 3-9, 2016. 2016 Theme: be humble, Be Faithful, BE BOLD.
Registration opens on April 1. Scholarships and work grants may be available. For more information, go to the FGC Gathering website.
