QuakerSpring at Stillwater:
Experiencing the Inward Christ Together
Barnesville, Ohio
June 9-14, 2009

We invite all Friends hungry for spiritual community, of all ages, to spend time in worship, reflection, conversation, and play. We hope to bring together Friends from all branches of Quakerism, to share what Spirit-led Quakerism is about at its core--and to experience it together.
