Six women met Monday night, November 16, for fellowship and sharing a program, prayer requests and resources. The program wove together wisdom from Simone Weil\u2019s book Love in the Void:<\/em> Where God Finds Us<\/em>, and a Quaker Kenyan woman\u2019s story of being called to ministry. We were left with the query: \u201cDo we have a willingness to start with love in discerning how to respond to God\u2019s calls?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For years the Durham Friends Woman\u2019s Society has organized a mitten tree at the meetinghouse. This year we invite all who are led to help in this effort to donate individually to the charity of your choice. A list of possible places will be posted in the near future for anyone needing ideas. Blessings to you this Christmas season! <\/p>\n\n\n\n ~Martha Hinshaw Sheldon<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Durham Friends Woman\u2019s Society is a subgroup of United Society of Friends Women International (USFWI).
