QUERY FOR NOVEMBER

  • Do we regard our time, talents, energy, money, material possessions and other resources as gifts from God to be held in trust and shared according to the light we are given?
  • How do we express this conviction?
  • What are we doing as individuals and as a Meeting to use and thereby perfect our gifts?
  • How do we encourage others to use theirs?
