FUM Triennial
North Carolina Yearly Meeting hosted FUM's triennial gathering in Archdale/High Point with sessions held at High Point Friends and the neighboring High Point Friends School facility. The theme, "Hope and Future," was selected from Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
