SAYF NEWS

January's Atlanta retreat was nothing short of amazing!  Thanks to all who participated! The Worship Journals have been transcribed and posted; look for them under the "Epistles" link on the site menu at the left.
Atlanta SAYFers also finished the editing and posting of our video for the AFSC "If I Had a Trillion Dollars"
project -- it's on Youtube HERE.

February is a Nurturing & Steering Committees Retreat:

Our next regular SAYF retreat weekend is set for:
March 23-25, 2012 @ Asheville Friends Meeting House
Lead FAP: Robin Wells
Planners: Asheville Young Friends

About our Retreats:
Each reatreat is planned by the young Friends of the meeting that is sponsoring or hosting the gathering. They choose a theme and decide on worship, activity, and food. They experience Quaker process in this planning and produce a schedule for the weekend.

Each retreat begins on Friday evening with a candle circle after all teens have arrived. The retreat ends on Sunday around noon, after gathering in silence to write our worship journals about the weekend.

The young Friends have their own nurturing committee who uphold the guidelines during the retreats and attend an additional two retreats each year to conduct business and address any issures for the SAYF community. They also nurture indivduals during the retreats.
