11 am August 15th - 12 pm August 16th, Quaker Cemetery

Young Adult Friends are invited to an overnight retreat where we will camp out in the Quaker Cemetery in Prospect Park. At this retreat, we'll explore spiritual questions around the beloved and connect with one another. We'll gather for sign-in at 11 am on Saturday.

Folks who are not young adults are invited to join us for the cemetery's open hours from 11 am-3 pm.

Following this, young adult friends (ages 18-35-ish) will continue to gather in joyful community. Expect an evening singalong—bring instruments! Bring something for the potluck lunch; dinner and breakfast the following day will be provided. In the morning, we'll eat breakfast, have personal time, and travel to the Meetinghouse for 11 am worship. In that spirit, pack light!

Register by Friday August 7th at 9 pm! More detailed itinerary and packing list to follow.
