Wagner at DanielDWagner@Comcast.net. The following are recommended ways to send much needed aid: MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS:
(the most important right now, and the simplest on both ends) or ** American Red Cross, earmarked for Coatesville relief. FURNITURE/HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: ** A needs list for furniture and household items is available from Keith Wilburn from Olivet Methodist Church. Keith can be contacted at 610-716-6999 or KJWilburn@hotmail.com. FOOD: ** Send gift cards from the ACME to Doris Span, 526 Colfax Street, Coatesville, PA 19320. (She heads up the Coatesville food bank, which was the first arson victim.) CLOTHING: ** NO! They have a lot. Faith
& Play now Available! I’m very pleased
to let you know that Faith
& Play, a Quaker adaptation of the Godly
Play® method, is now available through QuakerBooks
of FGC. Friends General Conference, in cooperation with Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting, also just launched a visually enticing website
full of tips and information about Faith & Play and Godly Play®
here.
I believe Faith & Play can provide a rich spiritual foundation for a meeting’s First Day School program. Find out more by visiting the website. In order to implement, Faith & Play well, it’s quite important for at least one person in your meeting to receive training in the method. FGC, with Pendle Hill, will be offering a training in May entitled “Playing in the Light.” To learn more, see the flyer here. Blessings, Lucy Duncan |
To Friends Meetings
in Pennsylvania: Here's Richard description
of the project: “I will photograph Peace Corps volunteers working
on their projects, living in their communities, and living their day-to-day
lives. I will travel to two countries in each region where Peace Corps
volunteers currently serve. I will make an honest record of what it means
to be a Peace Corps volunteer, and show the world why the Peace Corps
exists and how it is working to change the world. This documentary project
will create a portrait of Peace Corps that will illustrate the diversity
of volunteers as well as the diversity of the peoples served. The photos
will be published as a book with essays to provide perspective and promote
the goals of Peace Corps. Help me to use my talents and abilities to document
the positive accomplishments of Peace Corps.” Please visit www.thepoint.com:80/campaigns/making-peace-with-the-world
to support the documentary project.” |

Job Posting for Social Workers Our PYM Aging Granting Group is looking for Quakers who are licensed & insured social workers — especially in southern New Jersey, Delaware, & Maryland — to be paid as consultants to make occasional home assessment visits to elderly Friends living in their own homes. We cannot predict when such Friends will require these visits, but this is a paid professional service offered on an as-needed basis. Interested Friends should send their resumes to: PYM Aging Granting
