A Quaker Studies Workshop with Allison Randall
Here at the House
Saturday, February 27, 9:30 - 3:30

Standing in the Need of Prayer

Allison Randall

Brighten a February Saturday with spiritual sunshine! It's here in a workshop that explores prayer as making connection with the Divine in many ways and what that means to us as we practice a 'listening' faith. Allison will talk about prayer and spiritual practice, and we will use discussion, writing and perhaps some worship sharing to explore prayer for ourselves.

Tuition, $30, payable in advance. Sign up now at the Quaker Studies website It's easy, you can register online and pay your tuition online too!
This workshop and the other courses and workshops of the Quaker Studies program fulfill our mission: to be a place where folks can get together and learn about Quaker life and values. We also offer our public spaces for neighborhood organizations (contact the Director for rates and details) and host Beacon Hill Friends Meeting - for Quaker worship each Sunday. The links at the left will tell you more about our program.
