Friends United Meeting sponsors the annual Chain of Prayer. Each of FUM's affiliate meetings chooses a First Day during the designated 3 month period on which to carry the chain of prayer so that it girds the planet. It is a time for spiritual renewal and joyful fellowship. March 7 is our day to pray for a sister Meeting and FUM's ministries worldwide.
"Bound Together in Love"
As God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience.
Bear with each other
and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one
another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
since as members of one body you were called to peace.
And be thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15

We started at 9 a.m. and by 12 noon had gathered 648 pounds of air potatoes, which filled 3 residential size trash containers. The City of Gainesville Department of Nature Operations provided gathering buckets, trash containers and pickup service. The smallest potato was collected by Nic Bolen; the ugliest, by Alec Musen; the most adorable (a teddy bear), by Gloria; the weirdest, by Ken Musen; and the largest by our own Jean Larsen. In addition to rounding up those vast quantities of air potatoes, the volunteers collected 239 pounds of trash that included a tire, and orange cone road marker and a piece of sheet metal. The trash collection is a head start on the Great American Cleanup that will be scheduled later this Spring.

Hi . I am Marilyn Muller writing about myself for the
new member section.
I started attending Gainesville Meeting with my boyfriend Philip Hall in November of 2001 and last fall I became a member. I love attending meeting because it rejuvenates my spirit. I enjoy fellowship with people who share my values and encourage me to live by them. Outside of meeting, I spend my time teaching math at Westwood Middle School and taking classes at UF toward my masters in special education. Next fall I'll start studying for my Ph.D. in special education, so Phil and I plan to stay in Gainesville for the near future. We even bought a house here last summer. Before moving to Gainesville I grew up in Orlando, went to college in Massachusetts and then worked in Boston and New York for four years. Boy, is it nice to be back to mild winters. Thanks for welcoming me into the meeting. |
