Annual Retreat 27-29 January

Our Annual Retreat will again be held at Temple Pastures, north of Gatineau, but note the change of date. This year it will be on the last weekend in January instead of in February. The program starts at 5:00 p.m. for supper on Friday 27 January and finishes after lunch on Sunday

Jane Zavitz-Bond who is a well known Quaker historian and archivist of Canadian Yearly Meeting will guide us in a focus on aspects of Quaker history. There will be children in attendance and a program for them offered. Fees are reasonable and the Meeting will subsidize those who need help

Everyone is welcome.

For more information contact Sybil Grace.

Seekers

We are a group who meet on the 4th Sunday of the month from 9:00 -10:00 a.m. at the Ottawa Friends Meeting House, 91A Fourth Avenue, downstairs, in the room adjacent to the kitchen. Everyone is welcome.

Seekers are interested in each other's unique response to the following questions:
1. What inspires?
2. What motivates?
3. What gives purpose?
4. What beliefs are held?

After a brief introduction, we gather in silence in a circle and each has the opportunity to speak when they are ready out of this silence.
For more information call Anne Caza at 613.236.8724 or Murray Thomson at 613.224.8155.
