This Sunday is the Annual Founders Day at Deep River Friends Meeting. It's a Sunday in which we celebrate our rich heritage but also look forward in worship to the future God has called us towards. We give thanks for the foundation that has been laid by those that have preceded us. Their wisdom, perserverance, and faithfulness has given us a wonderful treasure in the form of the faith community called Deep River Friends. Our job is to get in line with these wonderful saints and keep the faithfulness going as we live into the future and live out our calling at the intersection of Wendover Avenue and Penny Road.
In our 11am meeting for worship, our guest speaker will be Becky Memmelaar. Becky is a preachers kid and recently graduated from the Wake Forest Divinity School. She is a recorded minister in North Carolina Yearly Meeting and just recently accepted a call to serve as pastor of Whittier Friends Church in Whittier, California. We look forward to Becky and the words God has put on her heart for our Founders Day.
After meeting for worship, everyone is invited to the Fellowship Hall for best carry-in meal in Guilford County and the surrounding area! Everyone is invited and welcome and encouraged to bring a dish to pass. There will be great fellowship, connecting with old friends and the making of new friends! It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the most important component of any church - it's people and the relationships that make up the congregation.
