Piedmont Friends Fellowship

Piedmont Friends Fellowship (PFF), affiliated with Friends General Conference (FGC), is a collective of Friends Meetings and Worship Groups in NC that gathers for worship, fun, fellowship, and sharing of messages from the Inner Light in the spirit of Friends' quarterly meetings. The organization was founded in 1968 out of a need for meetings to come together and to address issues and concerns in a wider Quaker forum. Annually PFF develops one or two workshops, a weekend family retreat, and through its youth committee, retreats for middle and high-school age young Friends. At all of these gatherings, the underlying goal is to nurture the spirit within each of us as we share with new and old Friends. For more information about PFF, you can contact Robert (Bob) Cooper at quakerbob@centurylink.net, 130 Deerfield Drive, Spring lake, NC 28390, 910-496-1673. A quick list of PFF Meetings and Worship Groups appears below, but additional details are available from the full PFF 2011-2012 Directory.

Programs for Adults, Teens, and Children
Fun and Fellowship!

Adult program topic:
What Is Thy Witness?

Quakerism offers a long history of bearing "witness" to Truth. For many Friends over the years, the revealing experience of the Inward Light has led them to let their "lives speak" as a witness to justice, peace making, equality, compassion, and honesty -- all as expressions of God's love. The program for the 2012 annual retreat will offer a non-judgmental setting to explore both our meeting's and our own individual witness to our values. As modern Quakers, are we satisfied with our witness to the world?
