Eugene Friends Meeting Event Details

Easter Sunday, April 5: Happy Easter! Our First Day School program this week features real hard-boiled eggs in rainbow hues! On Sunday morning at 11:10 the children will be guided to search for hidden eggs and everyone will go home with some. This is a plastic-free event. There will also be songs and stories and play time.

First Sunday Potluck: Join us on Sunday, April 5, at noon, for our monthly potluck gathering. All are welcome, please join us even if you did not bring something; we always have plentiful food!

Native Plant Give-Away: The Earthcare Action group has potted up many divisions of Oregon Sunshine, Douglas Spirea, and Yarrow, and these will be available to take home on Sunday, April 5, after Meeting for Worship. Visit our new Little Free Plant Library, under the yew trees in the front of the Meeting House. Our goal is to make native plants available to our neighbors and the Meeting community so as to help increase pollinators in our gardens. This will be a bi-annual event.

InterPlay Playshop with Kris Funk, Sunday, April 12, 12:30-2 p.m. in the Meetinghouse. Interplay® is a practice and philosophy that promotes community, creativity and fun, helping adults to re-embody the spirit of play through movement, voice, stillness, and story making. The Interplay® approach uses easy-to-do improvisational forms, broken down into small steps, so that all of us—the self-consciously shy and the wildly outgoing—can have fun, be refreshed, and find a deeper connection to ourselves, each other, and the wisdom of our own bodies. Come play with some basic Interplay forms. ALL bodies are welcome! Wear loose-fitting or stretchy clothes so you can move. Limited to 20 participants. Please click here to RSVP!  Sponsored by Ministry and Counsel’s Outreach Committee.

Earth Week Worship with a query: Sunday, April 19, 10:45 am: Join us at the Masonic Cemetery for our monthly outdoor worship, beginning Earth Week with the query: How will we renew our hope for all living beings? Are we able to take right action for care of the earth, and release the outcome to the Universal Spirit of Love?We will meet up the hill from the mausoleum building, at the south end of the cemetery. There is a low cement wall structure to sit on, or bring your own chair. At noon, we will unify with Friends at the Meeting House for hospitality and conversation.

Peace and Justice Letter Writing on 3rd First Day each month, Sunday, April 19, at 12:15 in the  West Room – topic: No Supplemental Funding for War on Iran. Peace and Justice Committee.

Welcome Newcomers: The Adult Religious Education committee invites new attenders of the meeting (and anyone bringing a “beginner’s mind” to their Quaker journey) to join us after the rise of meeting on Sunday, April 19, for a 45-minute in-person session to welcome newcomers to our community and respond to inquiries about Quaker belief and practice, helping newer attenders feel grounded in our spiritual community and ready to more fully participate in core practices like silent worship and vocal ministry. We also welcome more seasoned attenders who are interested in sharing their own perspectives and deepening their understanding of how others in the community understand Quaker spirituality.

Meeting for Worship for Business: If your committee has seasoned an agenda item to bring, please email it or call by Wednesday, April 22, to get on the agenda. Please join us on zoom (use Sunday log in link) for Meeting for Worship for Business on Sunday, April 26,  at 1:15 p.m. Thank you!

Peace: Poetic Reflections: Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in the Meeting Room. Click to RSVP for optional Soup Supper at 6 p.m. Join us for live poetry that touches on or brings peace, and may include poets from around the world. This community gathering features a program of short poems read by Friends, interspersed with moments of silence, followed by fellowship. Poetry can reveal and illuminate our experiences of Spirit, particularly in tumultuous times. To participate, email title, author, and text of a short poem (written by yourself or another) by the revised deadline of April 8 to Michael Niemann (). Outreach Comm.
