he next gathering on "Worship, Ministry, and
Eldering" will be Saturday, January 29, at Woodbury Meeting, 124 North Broad
Street, Woodbury, New Jersey. This is the eleventh in a series of periodic
gatherings of Friends called to ministry and the spiritual nurture of their
Meetings. Each gathering has been held in a different meetinghouse, so far in
eight Quarters of PYM. We have been gathering in extended, expectant worship
and also sharing our experiences, receiving support, and nurturing our
spiritual gifts. These gatherings have been an opportunity to learn more about
worship, ministry, and eldering through experiencing and practicing it together
in the company of others who feel a strong spiritual call to ministry in one
form or another, or who simply feel a deep concern about the spiritual life of
their Meetings. Please bring a bag lunch. There is no fee, but donations to
help cover expenses are needed and welcome. Call by January 21 for childcare or
by January 8 to arrange overnight hospitality with Friends near Woodbury
Meeting. For information contact Marcelle Martin and Jorge Arauz at
