Ecumenical
Friendship Night, May 14, 2015
All are
invited to an ecumenical Friendship Night about the Quakers, hosted by
the Women’s Fellowship of the Congregational Church of North Barnstead
(CCNB). The Friendship Nights are organized to promote
interdenominational understanding. This program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
on Thursday, May 14 at CCNB.
Ruth Heath,
a member of the Concord Friends Quaker Meeting, will introduce us to
Quaker Testimonies (what they believe and how they live out their
beliefs), their worship and other spiritual practices and the importance
of prayer and silence. Song, silent meditation, questions and answers
and refreshments will be part of the evening. Ms Heath has
been a Quaker for 35 years and has served in several leadership roles.
The Quakers
(not to be confused with Shakers) are a Christian denomination and are
also known as Friends. They are very active in community affairs and
are well known in the Concord area. Quakers are respected for their
testimonies of pacifism, social equality, integrity and simplicity.
Everyone is
welcome to this inspiring and educational event! It will be held at the
CCNB, at 504 North Barnstead Road (near the junction of Peacham and
North Barnstead) Center Barnstead.
CCNBWF

event, we encourage attendees to bring along a donation of
non-perishable food items that will be incorporated into backpacks send

you!
