Ministry & Counsel – Bob Powell reporting for Roger Schroeder
Interest has arisen in our meeting and Wilmington Friends Church about fostering better relations. A program of “Friendly Eights” dinners has been proposed. Ministry and Counsel are in favor of moving ahead with this and seeking other avenues, such as joint service projects, to further this aim.
