The Teen Fall Retreat for Lake Erie Yearly Meeting will take place November 15–17 (Friday–Sunday) at the Athens Friends Meeting, 22 Birge Drive, Chauncey, Ohio 45719.
The cost per teen at this event will be $20. We do not want costs to be a barrier preventing teens from attending, so please contact Robb at one of the contacts below if you need financial assistance. Monthly Meetings are encouraged to help teens attend, so ask your Meeting for their help first and contact Robb if you still need help.
Weekend activities include: Worship, Farmers Market, Service Project, Thrifting, Out Trip, Business Meeting and Worship
The weekend workshop will be facilitated by Merry Stanford and Peter Wood titled:
'Speak Up. Listen Down.'
Workshop Description: There are always times, even with friends and Friends, when you can feel uncomfortable with something that's going on around you. Should you say something? And if you do, what? And what if someone says something uncomfortable to you? How do you respond? This workshop is about learning to speak what is on your mind in such a way that others can hear you. You will also learn to listen in a way that helps you understand, maybe even deeply, where another person is coming from. These are skills that help any relationship thrive, whether with a friend, a boyfriend/girlfriend, a parent, a sibling, a teacher. ... or each other.
During First Day School on Sunday a member of Athens Meeting has offered to speak to our teens on the draft/military service and conscientious objection.
