Friends are encouraged to plan to attend the entire workshop as continuity will contribute to the depth of the experience.

Please register online or with one of the printed forms in the library.

Please sign up so that we may know how to plan for child care, potluck meals, etc.

Those wishing to do some preparation in advance of the workshop may want to read Michael Wajda’s Pendle Hill Pamphlet #388 “Expectant Listening – finding God’s Thread of Guidance” and Marcelle Martin’s Pendle Hill Pamphlet #462 “A Culture of Faithfulness.” M&C has ordered extra copies of these pamphlets, which will be in the Meeting library within a couple of weeks.

Sponsored by Madison Meeting’s Ministry and Counsel Committee

Michael Wajda will be leading the Retreat, accompanied by his wife Alison Levie as Ministering Elder. Michael has traveled widely among Friends conducting workshops seeking to deepen the Spiritual Life of Friends. He is the author of Pendle Hill Pamphlet #388 “Expectant Listening”. Michael notes that “In these challenging times, it feels ever more important to ground ourselves in the Living Presence and its call to faithfulness”.
