Quiet Days
Quiet Days will be held on TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2026, and is coordinated by the Spiritual Life Mission Team (Ursinus Association) and held at New Goshenhoppen Church. We meet the first Tuesday of each month from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It is a time for spiritual reflection with a group and also time alone. The meeting consists of an opening statement made by a convener and followed by group discussion. The group then disperses anywhere on the church campus for solitary time. We gather back together at noon for lunch and further group discussion. This event is open to anyone. All you need to bring is your lunch, perhaps a Bible or other spiritual material, and your willingness to listen and/or share in discussion. Coffee, tea, and light refreshments are provided. We do ask, if not a financial hardship, for a $5.00 goodwill donation that goes toward the use of the building. Please do not allow your inability to make this donation be a deterrent to attending. Lastly, with the merger of conferences into the new Keystone Conference, the Spiritual Life Mission Team is looking for additional volunteers. We would like to start our new endeavor as a strong team looking to move forward with new ideas and events. For any information or questions, please call Gail Gerhard, T/N 215-679-6523.
