Images from Ohio Yearly Meeting Conservative
Here are a few photos from our trip to Barnesville Ohio for yearly meeting sessions. The panel talk on Convergent Friends with C Wess Daniels and Ohio's David Male seemed to be well received. In some ways I thought it was silly for us to travel so far to tell them about convergence, as OYM© Friends have been doing important outreach and renewal work for years, supporting isolated Friends with the bi-annual Conservative Gatherings and though their affiliate member program. One place to learn more about current outreach efforts is ConservativeFriend.org.

What are you trying to do here? If you're trying to get the award for the cutest kid pics, I would say you've won.
Glad you have enjoyed OYM. Some awesome Friends in that YM.
In the Light of Jesus,
Craig
Martin,
Speaking from my experience at the event(s) last week, I found encouragement from your and Wess's presentation and fellowship.
I was able to learn from you. Part of that was what you said, and much was in the way you said it, the way you responded to others.
It's one of the reasons I make every effort to get to OYM gatherings and Yearly Meeting - to learn by being with Friends. There is no substitute.
Bill Taber wrote a section in the booklet, Prophetic Stream. It was titled something like, Can You 'Catch' Prophecy?
He spoke of time Elisha spent with Elija, and time the disciples spent with Jesus.
There is something to all that.
Thanks for making the long trip, with the family. They also added blessings to the YM by being there.

@Craig: won the award? Oh good!
@Raye: now was it you who told me over dinner that you liked the mock magazine covers I had made. As soon as I snapped that photo of Francis I knew it had to be one, so here you go.
Whatever I gave I got back in spades. It was quite lovely being with Friends in Barnesville. It's almost starting to feel like family. I haven't read Bill's "Prophetic Stream" yet but maybe I'll see if it's in the collection of pamphlets I inherited a few years ago. I did start rereading his history of Ohio last night, which I have found quite rewarding.
