SPIRITUAL FORMATION INFORMATION SESSION
Registration is now available for Spiritual Formation Program! Please click here to download the registration form.
The Spiritual Formation Program is composed of retreats, personal spiritual disciplines, Quaker and associated readings, devotional groups, and prayerful support. These combine to provide a structured community in which each member may discern God’s call and prepare to follow it. During the nine months, many insights and deep relationships are forged. Participants agree to participate in their small reading group and their smaller spiritual support group monthly and to attend each of the three retreats. The program is open to all who wish to attend and is led by Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Facilitators at Third Haven Friends Meeting.
Retreat dates for the Spiritual Formation Program are:
