Stony Run Spiritual Formation: Join the Spirit and Community
Golden indeed is,,, the period of quiet in the midst of all…
to have moments of solitariness in the midst of community, when we may dare to reveal ourselves to God.
…to finger one by one the pieces [of our] life,
to expose them in utter honesty…before the scrutiny and love of God.
–Howard Thurman*
The Spiritual Formation program is an opportunity to practice that quiet awareness of Divine Light, both individually and together. Through monthly readings, and worship sharing in small and large groups, participants share their individual spiritual journeys and nurture spiritual friendships. Stony Run’s Spiritual Formation Gatherings run from September through May on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7-8:30 PM. Also, participants meet monthly in small groups, organized to offer availability to people with a wide range of schedules. Baltimore Yearly Meeting offers Spiritual retreats in September and again in May.
