Call to Colorado Regional Meeting of Friends Fall Gathering
Please join us for this cherished opportunity for shared spiritual growth, Quaker fellowship, and fun! 

Mary Lord will present, "Peace begins at home."

We look forward to welcoming you at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado.


The Friday evening welcome program will include fellowship with Friends, a short Meeting for Worship for Business, and singing.

The Saturday morning program
includes early worship, worship sharing, and Keynote Speaker: Mary Lord, who will be addressing the theme of the gathering. 

Saturday afternoon
will include the opportunity for extended worship, meditation or free time, followed by a second presentation by the keynote speaker.

Saturday evening
includes the ever-popular Creativity Night.  


The children’s program begins on Saturday morning and includes childcare and activities for all age groups. Children are to be in their groups or under the care of their parents at all times.  Parents need to be mindful to pick up children promptly at designated times and places.


The centerpieces of First Day morning will be our worship together, along with Meeting for Worship for Business. 

Fall Gathering concludes after lunch. We must be out of our sleeping rooms by 10 am.


Lodging will be in one of the Eastside Lodges: rooms have at least one queen bed and two bunk beds. Be sure to let the Registrars know if you have special needs.
